Barcelona is targeting the signing of Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay to enhance the team's midfield after a remarkable season he had with Napoli, according to the website "Fichajes."

The site pointed out that the 28-year-old McTominay has become a key player in Napoli's lineup, known for his vast experience and ability to link the team's lines and contribute to the attack, making him ideal to compensate for the deficiencies in Barcelona's midfield due to injuries and inconsistent performances.

McTominay moved from Manchester United to Napoli in 2024 and won the league title with the Italian team in the 2024/2025 season, emerging as a well-rounded midfielder capable of orchestrating play, initiating attacks from the back, and creating opportunities.

Napoli retains the right to renew the player's contract until 2030 with a high release clause, making the completion of the deal with Barcelona challenging in the near future.

Barcelona faces several challenges, including Napoli's reluctance to easily part with McTominay, the high cost of the deal, competition from other major European clubs, and the need to convince the player to transfer while ensuring his role as a key player to guarantee the success of the transfer.

Scott McTominay is considered a strategic target for Barcelona to strengthen the midfield with an experienced and consistent performer, but the deal faces strong obstacles that make timing and market dynamics crucial.
