Everton are plotting a €70 million move for Napoli star Scott McTominay in an effort to add a massive player to their squad.

According to Fichajes, Everton are seriously considering a €70 million offer for Scott McTominay. The Napoli star has exceeded expectations following a top-notch title-winning season in Serie A, as the Toffees eye the former Manchester United midfielder as a viable option for their squad in the near future.

Napoli effortlessly signed Scott McTominay in the summer of 2024 from Manchester United to allow the player a new lease on life under Antonio Conte. The Scottish international exceeded expectations and put in performances that saw him being named the MVP in Serie A, as well as helping his team win the league title.

Some clubs in England are already regretting their decision not to pursue the midfielder when he was at Manchester United. The talismanic star, who finished in Ballon d’Or top 20, has since regained their attention since the end of the summer window as he has begun another campaign in Serie A.

A host of top clubs have already shown an interest, with Napoli not even considering any ideas of parting ways with the midfielder anytime soon. McTominay remains happy with life in Italy, which could see the chances of those interested parties scuppered ahead of the January window.

Tottenham, for instance, hold an interest, but as things stand, they are unlikely to sign McTominay anytime soon. Everton are also interested in the midfielder, as they are now plotting a big offer to test Napoli’s resolve, with the report stating figures of €70 million.

Everton to test Napoli’s resolve

Everton are reportedly plotting a €70 million offer to test Napoli’s resolve on McTominay. The 28-year-old is seen as the perfect fit for their midfield as the Toffees are keen to add a player who could solidify their midfield and add to the offensive. Everton are willing to fork out a sum that could potentially see Napoli double their investment in their talismanic star.

However, they face a difficult prospect in luring the Scotland international back to the Premier League, given he will have Champions League playing teams there with interest. Hence, while Everton are prepared to make a significant investment, the chances of Napoli selling anytime soon and the Toffees beating off competition for the 28-year-old are unlikely at the moment.
