“Here we go”: Scott McTominay’s move to Napoli to go ahead, says Fabrizio Romano | OneFootball

Scott McTominay’s deal to join Napoli has been fully agreed, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

Romano issued his famous “Here we go!” this evening to confirm the deal.

The midfielder will be joining the Serie A club after being involved with Manchester United since the age of five.

Romano posted: “Deal in place for €30m package plus sell-on clause.

“Manchester United have authorized Scott to travel for medical tests and contract signing.

“Both [Romelu] Lukaku and McTominay are set for travel and medical as Napoli players.”

United are reluctant sellers of the academy graduate, but he has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford in recent years.

A stalwart of the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era, the now 27 year old was one half of the infamous “McFred” midfield partnership.

He signed his first professional contract in July 2013 and there were doubts about his future in those early years due to his small stature.

However, those concerns proved unjustified as he grew to become one of the team’s tallest players at over 6ft 3inches.

A number of clubs have been vying for the Scot’s signature this summer, with Fulham and Fenerbahce in particular both making strong attempts to win the race.

However, Antonio Conte’s project in Naples was said to have captured the imagination of the Scotland star, who will be reunited with former teammate Lukaku should both deals go through as expected.
