Everton appear ready to make a bold move, as reports from Spanish news outlet Fichajes<\/a> claim the club is weighing up a \u20ac70 million bid for Scott McTominay, and the size of the offer shows how highly the Toffees rate the midfielder.<\/p>\n

Since he switched from Manchester United to Napoli in the summer of 2024, he has flourished under Antonio Conte, and many observers now look back at the decision to let him leave England with regret.<\/p>\n

Everton are preparing a \u20ac70 million bid for Scott McTominay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now, after he produced dominant displays that helped win a Serie A title and earned recognition as league MVP, his reputation has surged once again. Moreover, his top-20 finish in the Ballon d\u2019Or showed that his move to Italy revived his standing. Even though several Premier League sides previously passed on him, they seem to be monitoring him closely this season.<\/p>\n

However, despite Tottenham and other top-flight contenders showing interest, Napoli aren\u2019t showing any willingness to consider offers. McTominay remains settled in Italy, which could complicate Everton\u2019s pursuit.<\/p>\n

Still, the Merseyside outfit seems ready to move forward and plan a serious bid to test whether Napoli would resist ahead of the January window, and the proposed figure shows increasing urgency in their midfield plans. Reports<\/a> have also revealed that Everton want to sign James Ward-Prowse.<\/p>\n

Is this the right decision by the Merseyside club?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Toffees might admire Scott McTominay\u2019s drive and the kind of presence he brings to midfield, but staking \u20ac70 million on one player pushes logic to the edge. The Scottish midfielder proved effective during his stint at Napoli, and his Premier League background adds confidence, which could explain why David Moyes would value his versatility and goal threat. Still, the fee stretches belief.<\/p>\n

Everton\u2019s financial track record raises alarms, and committing such a large chunk of the budget to a 28-year-old will limit flexibility. They need depth across several positions. Spending so heavily on one player feels risky. This move shows ambition, but it risks repeating the same mistakes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
