Strasbourg are seeking a central midfielder and are interested in a loan for Nottingham Forest's James McAtee this winter. McAtee, a 23-year-old Englishman, joined Nottingham Forest from Manchester City in August 2025 for a fee of €25 million, signing a contract until 2030. This season, he has made six league appearances and has not scored or provided an assist.
Last season, McAtee made 37 appearances for Manchester City. He was the captain of the England U21 team that won the European Championship, and he has 24 caps and 8 goals for that team. The relations between Strasbourg and Nottingham Forest are considered very good, especially after the transfer of Dilane Bakwa last summer. According to Transfermarkt, McAtee's current market value is estimated to be €23 million. Additionally, other clubs such as Chelsea, Eintracht Frankfurt, and VfB Stuttgart have been linked with the player.
