AliousEverton Plot Stunning £61m Move for Serie A Superstar Who Could Transform Their Season
Everton appear to be gearing up for one of the most ambitious transfers of the January window, with reports in Italy suggesting the club are preparing a huge bid for Napoli’s in-form midfielder — a player recently described as an “absolute legend” in Serie A.
After an inconsistent start to life at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, David Moyes is believed to be pushing for major reinforcements as the Toffees assess areas of concern heading into the winter window.
Everton’s Season Demands More Firepower
The Merseyside club opened the campaign brightly but slipped to 13th place heading into the most recent international break. While their defensive performances have held firm, Everton’s attack has struggled to produce, despite the arrival of Thierno Barry from Villarreal.
With only 12 Premier League goals scored so far, it’s clear the Toffees need a more dynamic presence in midfield — someone capable of changing games and contributing regularly in the final third.
Everton ‘Preparing an Offer’ for Napoli’s MVP
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Everton are readying a formal offer for Scott McTominay, the Napoli midfielder whose reputation has skyrocketed since arriving in Italy.
The club is reportedly willing to put forward a €70 million (£61 million) bid — a massive increase on the £25.7 million Napoli paid for him last summer. The 28-year-old enjoyed a sensational debut season, scoring 13 goals, earning the Serie A MVP award, and helping Napoli secure the Scudetto.
While losing him would be considered a major setback for Napoli, such a fee could tempt the Italian champions into negotiations.
A Ready-Made Premier League Solution
McTominay’s profile fits Everton’s needs perfectly. Known for his late runs into the box, ball-winning ability, and clutch goals, he could immediately compete for the attacking-midfield role currently occupied by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, whose goal contributions have waned in recent weeks.
More importantly, McTominay already has extensive Premier League experience from his years at Manchester United — and would return to England as a more complete, more confident version of the player who left.
His mix of physicality, leadership, and goal-scoring threat could provide the lift Everton need to reignite their push toward European places in their new home stadium.
Praise From Italy: “An Absolute Legend”
Italian football great Roberto Di Matteo recently highlighted McTominay’s unexpected rise in Serie A:
> “Scott McTominay is an absolute legend down there.
> He shocked everyone — even Antonio Conte. He was signed for his work rate and discipline, but nobody expected him to become a key scorer as well. Conte discovered a side of his game that even McTominay didn’t know he had.”
Could This Be the Signing That Changes Everton’s Season?
A powerhouse midfielder in his prime, a proven match-winner, and a player thriving under pressure — McTominay could be exactly what Everton need.
Now the question is whether the Toffees are truly ready to commit to a record-breaking deal… and whether Napoli will allow their star to leave mid-season.
