He quickly became one of the team's standout players, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists in his debut season as he helped Napoli lift the league trophy. He backed that form up the following campaign with another 10 goals.However, he suffered an unexpected health setback this summer.McTominay was forced to undergo heart surgery during the summer break. As a result of the procedure and a lengthy rehabilitation process, the Scotland midfielder missed pre-season and has barely featured at all so far this season.Despite his absence, McTominay remains under contract with Napoli until the summer of 2028, meaning the upcoming summer could be an ideal opportunity for the Italians to make money from his sale if the two sides do not extend their partnership.📆 On this day, 3 years ago, Scott McTominay rescued all three points for Manchester United. 🔄 87' — He comes on at 1-0 down ⚽ 90'+3' — He equalises ⚽ 90'+7' — He hits the winner https://t.co/Rfd62d1MI2— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Footballtweet) October 7, 2026 A new contract in Italy appears difficult to arrange, as Napoli currently do not have the financial power to meet McTominay's wage demands.The player himself is very open to a return to the Premier League, with Aston Villa also keen to bring him in alongside his former club Manchester United.Both United and Villa have already tested the waters and made initial enquiries, making a return to English football increasingly possible for the Scotland international.##NAJAVA_MECA_10012303##
