Manchester United and Napoli have agreed on a fee for the signing of Scottish midfielder, Scott McTominay.

Napoli have reached an agreement in principle for around £25 million ($33m), and McTominay has been given permission to discuss personal terms with the Italian side.

The 27-year-old was involved in United’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday after coming on as a second-half substitute.

However, McTominay is now poised to leave United for Napoli as the two clubs have reached an agreement after lengthy talks, with the Scot in the process of negotiating his exit.

Mail Sport understands that Napoli will pay a transfer fee in the region of £26million for McTominay.

The Athletic also reported the deal is also said to include a sell-on clause, entitling United to a potential share of McTominay’s next transfer fee should he be sold by Napoli.

McTominay’s last appearance for United came on Saturday in a 2-1 defeat at Brighton.

Napoli finished 10th in Serie A last season, having won the title in the previous campaign.

They have since signed Leonardo Spinazzola, Rafa Marin, Alessandro Buongiorno, and David Neres.

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is also close to sealing a move to

Naples.

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, has explained why he won’t stay one more year at the club.

The 34-year-old is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the current season.

The Brazilian, however, had been urged by the club’s fans to extend his contract by one more year due to his brilliant display for Michael Carrick’s side this term.

Speaking on the development, Casemiro told ESPN Brasil, “There is no chance [for me to stay one more year].

“It is leaving through the front door. It has been four wonderful years, and I am eternally grateful not only to the club but to the fans.

“I think it is over. The cycle has ended here. I am moving on to a new chapter in my career.”

Former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, has said Arsenal will go on to win the Premier League title, after Manchester City dropped points against Everton.

City were held to a 3-3 draw at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night.

The result means Pep Guardiola’s men are now five points behind Arsenal, but they have one game in hand.

Rooney believes the Gunners will beat West Ham this weekend and go on to be champions.

He said on BBC Sport: “No, I’m concerned for West Ham. I just think Arsenal are efficient and professional.

“I just think they will win every game. So obviously, with the result tonight, that means they will win the league.”

Chelsea legend, Petr Cech, has advised his old club on how to win the UEFA Champions League or the English Premier League.

Chelsea are already out of the Premier League title race this season, and they are at risk of missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification for next season because they are currently not in the ninth position on the Premier League table.

Speaking to The Athletic about Chelsea, Cech said that the Blues need to change their philosophy of signing only young players if they want to win the Premier League or Champions League.

According to the former goalkeeper, the Premier League west London club needs to add experienced players to mentor the young players in the squad.

“You have to look at what you want to achieve. You can have young, talented players, and you can win, but it’s very rare that you manage to do that,” he said.

“If you want to win every season and compete every season, that does not go together.

“You have to change your philosophy. Certain things don’t go together because, in order to win a Champions League or a Premier League… these are really tough competitions, and you have to be consistent.

“You need to have a strong core of the team. And then you can bring young, talented players who will grow faster and then will be held by the experienced players to help navigate them through difficult times when they come.”

Currently, Chelsea have just one player, Tosin Adarabioyo, who is over 28 this season, and the defender has not been playing regularly.
