The big absentee from Napoli v Roma is Scott McTominay. Inflammation in his gluteus tendon continues to plague him and has left him with no escape: after some encouraging signs, the discomfort felt as early as the end of the first half against Genoa at Marassi has resurfaced, forcing him to stop.

McTominay represents not only the present, however, but also the future of Napoli. The club is working on a contract renewal until 2030: the current agreement expires in 2028, but the common intention is to extend and consolidate a relationship that has already become central to the technical project.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the midfielder’s agent, Colin Murdock, met with ds Manna to discuss figures, prospects and duration of the new deal. The idea is clear: to build the Napoli that will come around him.

Symbol of the fourth Scudetto and technical and emotional leader even in a complicated season, McTominay has already reached double figures in the league (10 goals), along with center forward Hojlund. His completeness – technical, tactical and physical – makes him indispensable in the Azzurri project.
