Scott McTominay, a 29-year-old midfielder at Napoli, has left open the possibility of joining Real Madrid if José Mourinho contacts him. The statement comes on September 2, with the Scot under contract with the Italian club until June 2028 and earning around €5.6 million per season.

The possibility does not stem from open negotiations between clubs but from the player's own words. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, McTominay acknowledged that he would consider a call from Mourinho to play for Real Madrid, a choice directly linked to the relationship they built at Manchester United.

Scott McTominay maintains his value at Napoli

Scott McTominay arrived at Napoli in August 2024 from Manchester United, and his first season ended with the Serie A title. In the 2024/25 season, he scored 12 goals and provided 4 assists, earning him the MVP of Serie A award.

His impact was also recognized internationally. McTominay was among the 30 nominees for the 2025 Ballon d'Or and finished in 18th place after a season where Napoli conquered the scudetto.

The change from Antonio Conte to Massimiliano Allegri in the dugout did not alter the midfielder's contractual situation. Napoli has him tied until 2028 with a salary of approximately €5.6 million yearly.

Furthermore, McTominay continued to deliver notable numbers during 2025/26. He ended that Serie A season with 9 goals, reaching 20 goals in the competition and becoming the all-time leading Scottish goal scorer in the tournament, surpassing Lewis Ferguson's 15.

José Mourinho alters the Real Madrid scenario

The connection with José Mourinho explains why Real Madrid comes into play for McTominay. The Portuguese coach gave him his debut for Manchester United's first team in the 2016/17 season, before the midfielder established himself in the English club.

Now, almost a decade later, Mourinho is the only factor publicly highlighted by McTominay that would make him consider leaving Napoli. As of this September 2 report, there is no confirmed offer from Real Madrid, so the operation remains a possibility pending a potential call from the coach.

The current context also limits any immediate departure. McTominay is under contract until 2028, while the transfer market is nearing its closure in Europe. Therefore, the next step hinges on Real Madrid and Mourinho transforming the player's expressed possibility into formal contact.

For now, Scott McTominay stays linked to Napoli, but his statement leaves a door open: if José Mourinho reaches out to him to play for Real Madrid, the midfielder has admitted he would consider the proposal.
