Napoli are working on a new contract with Scott McTominay, whom new coach Massimiliano Allegri plans to build the midfield around, but they have to get a move on, as he could attract offers from Jos\u00e9 Mourinho and PSG, Il Mattino<\/em> reports (via Tuttomercatoweb<\/em>).<\/p>\n The Partenopei<\/em> plot to make the Scot the highest-paid player in their squad, or close to it. He currently pockets about \u20ac3M annually, trailing Kevin De Bruyne, Rasmus Hojlund, Romelu Lukaku, and even Matteo Politano.<\/p>\n McTominay is due for an extension as he\u2019s tied to Napoli only until 2028. The impetus could also come<\/em> from the interest he might generate. The star will decide his future after the World Cup, but the Partenopei<\/em> are confident he won\u2019t go anywhere. They are plotting to shed some big salaries and are making evaluations about the Belgian duo, while they want to retain the 29-year-old.<\/p>\n The ace midfielder already played under Jos\u00e9 Mourinho at Manchester United for three seasons between 2016 and 2018, but he hadn\u2019t flourished yet. Real Madrid aren\u2019t short of options, but they are significantly retooling their squad. He could also be taken into consideration by PSG. He has notched 26 goals in two campaigns since moving to Serie A.<\/p>\n While any side would be smart to target him, the supposed attention is likely a simple negotiating tool, or at least it\u2019ll be for a while until the World Cup ends and the transfer market kicks into a higher gear. On the other hand, the Azzurri<\/em> must address the matter this summer so they can do it serenely and with decent leverage. They\u2019ll face a ton of pressure if they take it into next season.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Napoli and McTominay<\/h3>\n
