According to Fichajes, Scott McTominay is a potential target for Crystal Palace ahead of the summer. The 29-year-old Ballon d’Or nominee could be viewed as a statement signing by the Eagles, who are ready to take the next big step in their evolution, although they might face competition from domestic rivals.
Scott McTominay is experiencing a difficult season at Napoli, who have already surrendered the Serie A title to rivals Inter Milan. There could be big question marks over his long-term future at the club, as viable financial offers from the Premier League could tempt the 29-year-old Ballon d’Or nominee to return to England.
Manchester United are reportedly interested in re-signing McTominay, which might reflect their eagerness to make a statement signing. However, his age and the fact that the club previously overlooked him may play a part, though a return to Old Trafford could still prove tempting for the 29-year-old Ballon d’Or nominee.
Newcastle United are also among the suitors for the midfielder, as they too are looking for quality additions to strengthen their squad next season. Signing McTominay may not be straightforward amid reports that Napoli are ready to offer him a new deal, which would further increase his valuation.
Other rumours suggest Napoli could consider selling McTominay if they receive a significant offer, with the report valuing him at around £70 million. It remains to be seen whether Premier League clubs are willing to put that much on the table to bring the 29-year-old Ballon d’Or nominee back to England, as a new contender has now emerged for the Scottish international.
Crystal Palace are the latest club to enter the race for McTominay, with the Londoners reportedly willing to spend big and make a statement signing of sorts. The report highlights how the Eagles view the 29-year-old Ballon d’Or nominee as a player who could become the cornerstone of their project.
On paper, the idea seems promising, but unless there is a strong financial incentive, McTominay might find it difficult to leave Napoli for Palace. However, things could always change—especially if the Eagles table a substantial offer to test both Napoli’s resolve and that of the player.
