James McAtee

In December 2025, reports mention a current Transfermarkt market value of €23 million. This follows his completed transfer in August 2025 from Manchester City to Nottingham Forest for a reported initial fee of €25.5 million, with add-ons that could take the total to €34 million; other reports valued this deal at £30 million (approx. €35 million). In the months leading up to that move (June-August 2025), Manchester City's asking price was consistently reported in the €30 million to €40 million range, with some sources citing figures as high as £40 million (approx. €47 million). During that time, Nottingham Forest reportedly had a bid of around €29 million rejected, and Bayer Leverkusen had a €25 million offer turned down.

Our valuation for James McAtee is primarily anchored by his recent transfer from Manchester City to Nottingham Forest in August 2025 for an initial fee of €25.5 million, potentially rising to €34 million. However, his subsequent lack of playing time has created downward pressure on this figure. The valuation is supported by his current Transfermarkt value of €23 million and continued, widespread interest from numerous clubs in the Premier League and Bundesliga, which prevents a more significant drop.
