Beşiktaş has inquired about a possible transfer for 23-year-old English attacking midfielder James McAtee, who has played a subordinate role at Nottingham Forest since joining the club in August 2025, making seven league appearances without a goal or assist this season. Several Premier League clubs, RC Strasbourg, FC Porto, and multiple clubs from Germany have also inquired about a potential move in this transfer period.
A loan is considered a likely option for the offensive midfielder, whose contract at Nottingham is valid until 2030. Last summer, there was also interest from German clubs, including Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt. The England U21 international (24 caps, 8 goals) has a current Transfermarkt market value of €23.00m. He transferred from Manchester City to Nottingham Forest for a reported initial fee of €25.5 million, which could potentially rise to €34 million with add-ons.
