“He [McTominay] is a Bayern Munich or Real Madrid level player," Di Marzio said.
“The better he continues to perform, the more big European clubs could come calling in the summer.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if a club of that calibre comes in for him in the summer.
“For Napoli , he is priceless. For me, he is worth about €70m.”
