James McAtee

In August 2025, James McAtee completed a transfer from Manchester City to Nottingham Forest for a reported initial fee of €25.5 million, with add-ons potentially taking the total to €34 million; other reports cited a £30 million (approx. €35.5 million) fee. His Transfermarkt value is currently listed at €23 million as of January 2026. Prior to his move, in summer 2025, Manchester City's asking price was reportedly as high as €40 million, with various reports also mentioning figures around £25-30 million (approx. €29.5-€35.5 million). During that period, a reported €25 million offer from Bayer Leverkusen was made, and a £25 million bid from Nottingham Forest was said to have been rejected.

Our valuation is driven by James McAtee's recent transfer from Manchester City to Nottingham Forest in August 2025 for a reported initial fee of €25.5 million, potentially rising to €34 million. While his playing time has been limited since the move, the high level of interest from numerous Premier League and Bundesliga clubs suggests his market value remains strong and close to this recent transaction fee. The current Transfermarkt valuation of €23 million provides a solid floor for his value.
