McTominay's Napoli deal stalls over €8m wage demand, Madrid enquire

📰 Italian reports say McTominay's contract talks with Napoli have stalled over wages. 📌 Key points 💰 McTominay's camp want €8m-plus a year to extend until 2030. 📝 Napoli offered around €5m a year in the summer. 📅 His current deal runs to June 2028 and pays €3m a year. 🚪 He is said to be open to a January move if there is no agreement. 🇪🇸 Real Madrid are named among the clubs who have contacted his agents. 📝 What happened 📰 Naples daily Il Mattino reports a wide gap between the two sides. McTominay's camp want a raise to more than €8m a year with an extension to 2030, while Napoli offered about €5m in the summer. 🧮 The club reportedly see no urgency with almost two years left on the deal. But McTominay turns 30 in December, so his resale value will only fall with time. 🔁 Italian media are drawing comparisons with Kvaratskhelia, who turned down a €5m-plus offer while earning €1.5m and left for PSG for €70m in January 2025. 🤝 Sky Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio, however, is optimistic an agreement can still be reached. 📊 By the numbers • Current wage €3m, contract until June 2028 • Demand: €8m-plus (with an extension to 2030) • Napoli's summer offer: around €5m 🔭 Why it matters McTominay is close to returning after a heart procedure, with Allegri targeting Saturday's game against Frosinone on 10 October. His contract could become Napoli's biggest issue heading into the winter.
