Napoli in Talks for McTominay and Gilmour

Napoli has commenced negotiations with Manchester United regarding a potential transfer for midfielder Scott McTominay. The Italian club is seeking a loan arrangement for the 27-year-old Scotland international, as their financial constraints prevent them from meeting United's asking price, which ranges between £25 million and £30 million. Previously, Premier League side Fulham had a £20 million bid for McTominay turned down last month. With McTominay's contract at Old Trafford set to expire in 11 months, he has attracted interest from several clubs, including Tottenham and Fulham. Manchester United is keen to offload either McTominay or Casemiro this summer to facilitate the acquisition of a new defensive midfielder, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte being a primary target. In related transfer news, pundit Gianluca Di Marzio has reported that Napoli is nearing a deal for Billy Gilmour from Brighton. The 23-year-old midfielder, who previously worked under Napoli manager Antonio Conte at Chelsea, has made a significant impact at Brighton, featuring in 32 league matches last season. Napoli is reportedly aiming to finalize a transfer for Gilmour at around £10 million, with an additional £2 million in performance-related add-ons. As the summer transfer window progresses, both Napoli and Manchester United are actively pursuing strategic moves to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
