Manchester City is preparing to say goodbye to one of its young talents. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, James McAtee will be the next departure from the team led by Pep Guardiola in this summer transfer window. The English midfielder, who has just turned 22, is ready to pack his bags after not being part of the Catalan coach's plans for the 2025/26 season.

With the recent signing of Rayan Cherki and the arrival of Tijjani Reijnders, competition in the midfield has intensified, leaving no space for McAtee, despite his promising performance last season. Throughout the last campaign, the attacking midfielder took part in 27 official matches, scoring seven goals in just over 900 minutes played, a notable record for his time on the field.

🚨🔵 James McAtee can leave Manchester City this summer for a fee around £20/25m.

Manchester City Wants to Sell James McAtee

Manchester City is willing to negotiate his transfer for a sum ranging between £20 and £25 million, and there are already several clubs positioned to try to sign him. Both in the Premier League and in the Bundesliga and Serie A, there are entities that have inquired about his contractual situation. Among them, Atalanta stands out, one of the most interested clubs well informed about his future.

As a European U21 champion with England, McAtee represents an attractive prospect for teams seeking young talent with immediate potential. Although his time at the Etihad seems to be coming to an end, all signs point to his next destination allowing him to make a qualitative leap in playing time and prominence. His departure will not only lighten City's squad but could also become a profitable operation for both parties in sporting and economic terms.
