Scott McTominay is being lined up for improved terms at Napoli, even after Antonio Conte’s departure. The midfielder finished his Serie A season with 10 goals and a 7.07 rating, numbers that go a long way to explaining why the club want to keep him in Naples.
Why Napoli want to keep him
The contract picture is fairly clear. Napoli have tabled a new offer that could keep McTominay in Naples until 2031, while he still has two years left on his current deal. That is a strong position for the club to be in, and it reflects how quickly he has become central to their plans.
McTominay scored 10 Serie A goals and finished second in Napoli’s league scoring charts. He also made 32 league appearances, which matters here because it shows this was not a brief spike or a luxury spell in and out of the side. His 7.07 rating backs up the broader point that his value was not limited to goals alone.
What Conte's exit changes
Conte’s departure could have complicated this, but it has not changed Napoli’s direction. McTominay said he is "extremely happy in his current surroundings" and could see himself there for "a long time", which fits the club’s plan rather than fighting it.
There are other markers of a team built around a few useful pieces too. Rasmus Højlund finished as Napoli’s top scorer with 12 Serie A goals, and the pair combined for 30 goal involvements this season. Napoli ended the league in second, so the push to secure McTominay looks like part of a side trying to keep its best contributors together after a strong year.
The reported extension is not done yet, and the source frames 2031 as a possibility rather than a certainty. Even so, the direction of travel is obvious enough: Napoli want McTominay tied down, he sounds content, and his numbers give the club a decent case to keep building around him.
