City's Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest and West Ham United, are both interested in acquiring McAtee's signature this summer. Bundesliga duo Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund are also in the race and the report hints the interested clubs were initially hoping to buy him for between £20-25m [$27-33m].

Manchester City set price for James McAtee, Leeds United want to raise funds for Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz and Manchester United want two more signings.

James McAtee is one player who appears certain to leave Manchester City this summer. McAtee needs regular first-team football to further develop as a player.
