Both Man Utd and Napoli are now waiting to get the green light from the player.
McTominay, who has been the subject of interest from Fulham this summer, sees his deal expire at Old Trafford come the end of the season.
The club have an option to extend his stay by 12 months but would rather cash-in.
McTominay's sale will go down as "pure profit" as he is from the United academy.
This will help them comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules.
The Athletic claim Napoli chief Giovanni Manna has been in Manchester this week to strike a deal for McTominay.
The 27-year-old Scot has been on the books of United since he was aged five.
He has played 255 times for the club, scoring 29 goals.
Man Utd are now set to put the funds towards signing PSG star Manuel Ugarte.
He is the club's No1 midfielder target and they are reportedly set to pay £51million for him.
Ugarte is keen on the switch and is ready to travel to Manchester.
Meanwhile, Napoli representatives have also been in England this week to discuss deals with Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku and Brighton's Billy Gilmour.
