Scott McTominay’s Napoli Form Sees Him Linked with Real Madrid Transfer
According to former Napoli midfielder Carmine Gautieri, Scotland international Scott McTominay has established himself as one of the top midfielders in Europe, with his impressive form at Napoli potentially attracting the attention of top clubs such as Real Madrid. The 28-year-old joined Napoli last summer after spending seven years at Manchester United, and has since become an integral part of the Serie A side’s title challenge.
As reported by The National, McTominay’s performances have caught the eye of Gautieri, who played for Napoli in 2005. Gautieri believes that McTominay’s impressive all-round game makes him a complete player, capable of competing at the highest level. "He was an excellent purchase," Gautieri told Radio Carpi via MondoNapoli. "We’re talking about a complete player: he has pace, he fits in well, he knows how to shoot and he also scores with his head."
McTominay’s rise to prominence at Napoli has been nothing short of remarkable. The Scotland international was signed by Antonio Conte’s side for around £35m, and has formed a key part of the team’s midfield alongside international teammate Billy Gilmour. With Napoli locked in a tight title race with Inter, both sides currently on 71 points, McTominay’s contributions have been invaluable. His impressive form has led Gautieri to suggest that he could potentially play for top clubs such as Real Madrid, or even Manchester City.
Gautieri’s praise for McTominay is not limited to his technical abilities. The former Napoli midfielder also highlighted the Scot’s adaptability and work rate, which have been key factors in his success at Napoli. "I must admit that I didn’t expect it, so congratulations to whoever brought him to the Azzurri," Gautieri added. "A profile like that could easily play in teams of the calibre of Real Madrid or Manchester City: at the moment, he is among the strongest midfielders in Europe."
The comparison to top European clubs is a testament to McTominay’s rapid rise to prominence. The Scot has consistently performed at a high level since joining Napoli, and his ability to score goals and create chances for his teammates has made him a valuable asset to the team. As The National reports, McTominay’s form has caught the attention of top clubs, with Gautieri suggesting that he could be a target for Real Madrid or Manchester City in the future.
In conclusion, Scott McTominay’s impressive form at Napoli has established him as one of the top midfielders in Europe. With his all-round game and adaptability, he has caught the eye of top clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester City. As The National reports, Gautieri’s praise for McTominay is a testament to his hard work and dedication, and it will be interesting to see how his career develops in the coming years.
