Nottingham Forest are close to finalizing a transfer for Manchester City midfielder James McAtee in a deal reportedly worth over £20 million. The 22-year-old is a product of the Manchester City academy and has been in high demand this summer, with other Premier League clubs and teams from Germany also showing interest.
McAtee's reputation has grown following two successful loan spells at Sheffield United, and he was part of the England U21 squad that recently won the European Championship. Despite his promise, competition for a spot in Manchester City's midfield has been a challenge, making a permanent move to another club for more regular playing time an attractive option.
According to reports, personal terms have been agreed upon, with McAtee expressing his preference for a move to Nottingham Forest. The deal is expected to be completed in the coming days. The potential transfer comes on the same day that Nottingham Forest learned they will be competing in the Europa League next season.
