James McAtee Next Club Odds

Reports suggest that James McAtee's time at Manchester City could be set to come to an end, with a growing list of potential suitors.

Emerging through the Citizens youth academy, the attacking midfielder has seen the majority of his senior playing time come in a Sheffield United shirt, spending two respective loan spells with the Blades.

Aged 22, it appears that the time has come for McAtee to seek a permanent move away from the club, unsurprisingly possessing numerous admirers.

A move to the Bundesliga appeared the most likely earlier on in the window, and while it's by no means been ruled out, it's Nottingham Forest who lead the betting odds to secure McAtee's signature.

Morgan Gibbs-White's imminent move to Tottenham will leave a void in the attacking midfield role, and McAtee could be viewed as the ideal candidate to step in as a replacement, impressing when given an opportunity to start in the 2024/25 term.

James McAtee Next Club Odds

*Market refers to James McAtee's Club on 03/09/2025.

(Odds will display when the market is available).

Nottingham Forest

With the soon-to-be confirmed departures of Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs White, Nottingham Forest are set to receive in the region of £120m in transfer fees.

With that said, if Nuno Espirito Santo's side are to prove competitive both domestically and in Europe, finding capable replacements will be vital

James McAtee may be viewed as the perfect contender as he is capable of playing in the number 10 role and off the right hand side.

Bayer Leverkusen

With the signing of England U21 star Jarell Quansah all but done, Bayer Leverkusen could eye up a move for his international teammate James McAtee.

Having sold Florian Wirtz for a record fee of £100m, rising to £116m with add-ons, the Bundesliga outfit shouldn't be short of cash to spend, and McAtee could be viewed as the ideal candidate to fill the attacking midfield void.

It's expected a fee in the region of £25m could get a deal done for McAtee, and new boss Erik ten Hag may be keen to make the Man City creator one of his first signings in charge.

RB Leipzig

It was an underwhelming 2024/25 season for RB Leipzig, recording their worst Bundesliga finish (7th) in the club's existence. Ole Werner will take the reigns as manager prior to the start of the 2025/26 campaign, and he will hope a strong summer transfer window can hold his side in good stead to compete.

While Leverkusen will need to replace Wirtz, Leipzig too may have to identify a replacement for Dutch playmaker Xavi Simons who has been linked with a move away from the club.

Should Leipzig's reported interest in McAtee materialise, he would become just the second English player to represent the club, following in the footsteps of Fulham midfielder Emile Smith-Rowe.

VfB Stuttgart

While the signing of McAtee would no doubt be a notable addition for both Leverkusen and Leipzig, the potential arrival of the attacking midfielder could represent a club record fee for VfB Stuttgart.

A remarkable 2023/24 campaign saw Stuttgart finish in second place, but the 2024/25 term left much to be desired as they finished below the European spots in ninth.

The market for McAtee will undoubtedly be competitive in the coming weeks, and Stuttgart are expected to be in the mix for his signature.

Eintracht Frankfurt

Completing the full list of potential Bundesliga suitors, it's important that Eintracht Frankfurt get their summer transfer window right if they are to live up to the standards of the 2024/25 season, when they qualified for the UEFA Champions League with a third place finish.

Having lost Omar Marmoush to Manchester City midway through the campaign, it now looks as though centre forward Hugo Ekitike could be next to depart, attracting interest from numerous Premier League sides.

While McAtee doesn't necessarily specialise in the centre forward department, his stint under Pep Guardiola will no doubt have improved his ability to be versatile across the front line, and the Euro U21 winner may be viewed as a player who can come in to competently play a number of roles.
