MU Transfer: Sporting Director Giovanni Manna has spoken out about Napoli’s deal to sign Scott McTominay. This is a turning point for Manchester United to activate the 5th blockbuster named Ederson da Silva.
Although not a top priority on Man Utd’s transfer list, Scott McTominay is still considering leaving to have more playing opportunities as coach Erik ten Hag wants to bring to Old Trafford a blockbuster contract in the midfield position.
Napoli are the team trying to convince Man Utd to sell Scott McTominay. The Scottish midfielder himself is also said to have agreed personal terms with the Serie A representative. MU is asking for a price of up to 25-30 million pounds for this deal. This is the only remaining barrier for the star who grew up at the Carrington training center to officially leave the Old Trafford team.
Recently, Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna also confirmed that the team wants to recruit McTominay, along with another target playing in the Premier League, Billy Gilmour: “Both McTominay and Gilmour are good players. Let’s wait and see what happens.”
Napoli just started Serie A 2024/25 with a shocking 0-3 loss to Hellas Verona. Coach Antonio Conte clearly expressed his dissatisfaction and wanted the team to quickly bring in new contracts to complete the squad.
On the other hand, Man Utd have a plan B when the deal to recruit Ugarte is difficult. The name being targeted is midfielder Ederson da Silva of Atalanta. According to MEN, Manchester United are intensifying negotiations with Atalanta and Ederson’s representative to sign this Brazilian player. Atalanta wants 51 million pounds for the midfielder born in 1999.
If the McTominay sale process goes smoothly, Man Utd can completely bring the best defensive star in Serie A last season to the Premier League before the match against Brighton in round 2.
