PL: European big names fighting to afford a youngster from Manchester City

A new battle is being prepared for the transfer window. James McAtee, 22-year-old English midfielder, is attracting the attention of several European clubs while his future at Manchester City remains uncertain. According to The TelegraphNottingham Forest, West Ham, Brentford and Crystal Palace are monitoring his situation closely, as are the German teams (Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig) and Italian teams (Fiorentina, Bologna).

Despite Pep Guardiola’s efforts this summer to convince McAtee to stay at City, the 22-year-old has been little used this season, even in the face of a series of poor results, injuries and underperformance from certain managers.
