News details

Having secured their place in the Champions League, Fenerbahçe accelerated their transfer efforts. To reinforce their midfield rotation, the Yellow-Navy Blue club put Napoli's Scottish star Scott McTominay on their shortlist.

It is claimed that Fenerbahçe has prepared a transfer fee of around €30 million for this move. The Yellow-Navy Blue board will travel to Italy to finalize McTominay's transfer backed by this substantial financial backing.

Fenerbahçe executive Cihan Kamer will reportedly sit directly at the negotiating table with Napoli's management. The talks will determine the ultimate fate of the transfer. It is reported that McTominay looks favorably upon opening a new chapter in his career and the project presented by Fenerbahçe. The Scottish player is said to have given the green light to the transfer.

However, Napoli's stance is different. The Italian club is taking a distant approach to the move due to McTominay's key role in their tactical setup. It is emphasized that replacing his position in the team on short notice would be difficult.

McTominay transferred from Manchester United to Napoli in 2024 for €30 million. For the Italian side, he was directly involved in 18 goals, scoring 14 goals and providing 4 assists in 44 official matches. The process is at a critical stage for the experienced player, who has also scored 15 goals in 73 matches for the Scotland national team.

It is claimed that after the midfielder, the Yellow-Navy Blues will target another star transfer.
