Napoli have finally reached an agreement with Manchester United as Antonio Conte seeks to bolster his squad for the new season.

Napoli have reached an agreement with Manchester United to sign midfielder Scott McTominay for a fee of around €30 million, with United set to receive a percentage of any future sale.

McTominay has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford with an option for an additional year, and Napoli are working hard on talks with the player to reach an agreement on personal terms.

United have a replacement in mind - Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte - and selling McTominay would help make that move happen.

Napoli's sporting director, Giovanni Manna, has been busy negotiating in London and Manchester to secure McTominay, along with Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku and Brighton's Billy Gilmour.

McTominay had a breakout season last year, scoring 10 goals in 43 games, and has also improved his goal-scoring record for Scotland.

Earlier this month, Fulham made a £20 million bid, but United valued him higher. Fulham have since signed Sander Berge from Burnley, a player United were interested in.
