Fans of the Premier League might remember the moment when Che Adams, the England-born striker, decided to play for the Scotland national team, leading to his nickname on social media as “Che McAdams.”Following that same logic, we now have McNapoli, a club whose midfield will be commanded by a duo from the Scottish national team, Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour, this season.After agreeing on the arrival of Manuel Ugarte, Manchester United has agreed to sell McTominay to Napoli for €30 million and 10% of his future sale, while Gilmour’s move to southern Italy is expected to be finalized by midnight.##NAJAVA_MECA_8305114##Following a sleepless night during which the Scottish midfielder was persuading Brighton to sell him to Napoli, he eventually received the green light from the Seagulls to make the move to Italy. Although the situation was quite tense, as Napoli’s owner Aurelio De Laurentiis was playing hardball, dissatisfied with the behavior of the English club’s representatives, Conte was consistently lobbying with the club’s higher-ups to secure Gilmour’s arrival, which was ultimately achieved for a fee of €14 million.Despite the fact that these two seemingly cold Northern Islanders might seem like an odd fit for the hot-blooded Italian south, Conte, who insisted on their arrival, surely knows why he needs them. Moreover, just because they come from the British Isles doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t quickly acclimatize to the Apennines. Anyone who has had the opportunity to get to know the Scottish people understands that the perceived coldness of Scots is merely a stereotype rooted in the harsh weather conditions “up there.”Scott is proud to be one of us!💙 #ProudToBeNapoli | #ForzaNapoliSempre | #WelcomeMcTominay pic.twitter.com/eBHjKa49ZO— Official SSC Napoli (@sscnapoli) August 30, 2024 Perhaps even Napoli fans themselves might wonder why the duo from a national team that left possibly the weakest impression at the last European Championship arrived on the final day of the transfer window. However, when Gilmour and McTominay are considered individually, they possess considerable footballing qualities. The former Chelsea player is highly agile, strong on the ball, and skillful with it at his feet, while Conte will undoubtedly know how to utilize McTominay’s long stride and goal-scoring abilities.Gilmour and McTominay are the sixth and seventh signings Napoli has made for Antonio Conte this summer. Previously, Alessandro Buongiorno arrived from Torino for €35 million, Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea for €30 million, David Neres from Benfica cost €28 million, Real Madrid was paid €12 million for Rafa Marín, while Leonardo Spinazzola signed as a free agent after parting ways with Roma.
