Manchester City have reportedly knocked back a proposal from Stuttgart to sign James McAtee.

Team Talk reports on Stuttgart's interest in signing James McAtee from Manchester City.

VfB Stuttgart has been linked with James McAtee, but only a permanent transfer would be possible this winter due to FIFA regulations limiting Manchester City's international loans.

James McAtee is reportedly unhappy with his playing time at Manchester City and is seeking a way out. VfB Stuttgart is interested in acquiring McAtee. A loan move is considered a realistic scenario. McAtee has only made seven appearances as a substitute in both the league and Champions League. Pep Guardiola acknowledges that McAtee deserves more playing time.
