James McAtee plans to leave Manchester City this summer

According to Bolasport.com, young midfielder James McAtee is preparing to leave Manchester City in the summer transfer window of 2025 — following in the footsteps of Cole Palmer who previously departed in search of playing opportunities.

The 22-year-old player faces intense competition in the midfield of the English Premier League champions. His position as an attacking midfielder must compete with several star players.

Currently Manchester City has several options for the attacking midfielder position:

• Claudio Echeverri
• Phil Foden
• Bernardo Silva
• Tijjani Reijnders

This situation is pushing the Manchester City academy graduate to seek a new club to get more regular playing opportunities.
