Manchester City set price tag for Nottingham Forest transfer target James McAtee

Club Friendlies

Nottingham Forest

Fulham

<p>City are open to selling McAtee this summer, with Bundesliga clubs Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, RB Leipzig and Stuttgart <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/james-mcatee-join-jobe-bellingham-erik-ten-hag-borussia-dortmund-bayer-leverkusen-bundesliga-teams-man-city-youngster/blt2dc3ff1e770e59cc#cse1a2ae3596a9be22" target="_blank">all previously linked with the recent European Under-21 Championship winner</a>. Forest's interest is also well known and <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14892687/Nottingham-Forest-toe-toe-European-rivals-Man-City-star-James-McAtee-need-pay-25m-England-U21-hero.html" target="_blank"><em>the Daily Mail</em></a> now claim a fee of £25 million (€28.9 million/$33.9 million) could be enough to prise the 22-year-old away from the Etihad Stadium.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>There is also admiration for McAtee from Italy, with Serie A sides Fiorentina, Roma and Atalanta all monitoring developments. Forest, meanwhile, will soon have cash to splash with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/newcastle-anthony-elanga-breakthrough-strike-deal-nottingham-forest-ex-man-utd-star/blt76daa99b1df074ff" target="_blank">£55 million (€63.7 million/$74.8 million) sale of winger Anthony Elanga to Newcastle expected to be finalised in the near future</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After spending two seasons on loan with Sheffield United, McAtee was kept in the City squad for the 2024-25 season. He was primarily used as a rotational option but still managed to contribute seven goals in 27 appearances in all competitions before helping England retain their Under-21 Euros title in Slovakia.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>McAtee didn't appear with City at the Club World Cup due to his international commitments but looks set for a defining month or so with his future expected to be decided. In the meantime, Pep Guardiola's side will get some much-warranted time off, with only one pre-season friendly against Palermo scheduled for early August.</p>
