James McAtee is seeking more playing time and is attracting considerable interest from both domestic and foreign clubs. Reports indicate that he is not heavily featured in manager Pep Guardiola's plans this season. Brentford is monitoring McAtee's situation as he is eager to make a move with the upcoming U21 European Championship in mind. Manchester City is reluctant to let him go. It has been reported that McAtee, who was loaned to Sheffield United last season, is 'unsettled' due to limited opportunities at City. Alongside Brentford, Nottingham Forest, West Ham United, and Crystal Palace from England, as well as Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Fiorentina, and Bologna from abroad, are all keeping tabs on him. Inspired by peers like Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers, who left City for more opportunities, McAtee is considering a similar path to secure his future.
