Brescianini move on 12 August frees McTominay for Champions League | OneFootball

On August 12, 2024, Napoli was practically on the verge of securing the loan with the obligation to buy Marco Brescianini from Frosinone. The 2000-born midfielder had even arrived at Villa Stuart for medical tests, but from there everything changed: during the exams, the conditions of the agreement were suddenly changed, and the operation was frozen. Frosinone, disappointed by the U-turn of the blues, decided to turn to Atalanta, which on the same day successfully closed the signing of Brescianini. In a press conference, the midfielder explained the sudden change of course: "Napoli was really ahead, but Atalanta believed a lot in me and moved with determination. It was the natural choice".

Napoli, "in paradise by chance"

Just because Brescianini didn't arrive, Napoli then accelerated for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay. The Scottish midfielder landed in the shadow of Vesuvius in the summer of 2024 for around 30.5 million euros. The deal was a real turning point: Conte knew how to enhance him by transforming him into the protagonist of the blue midfield. With 12 goals and numerous assists, McTominay won the title of MVP of Serie A 2024-25 and contributed decisively to the conquest of the Scudetto by the Neapolitans.

Napoli, the turning point of the season

The failure of the agreement for Brescianini turned into an opportunity to focus on a profile already tested and immediately established, capable of leading the team with substantial plays and constant intensity. McTominay not only filled the void left by the non-arrival of the Italian, but also exceeded every expectation, linking his name to the recent successes of Napoli, now the question is legitimate. Will he be able to reconfirm himself in the second season?
