Nottingham Forest's 23-year-old English midfielder, James McAtee, is attracting interest from several clubs abroad, including Eintracht Frankfurt, RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, and PSV Eindhoven. This attention is due to his limited playing time, which has also alerted English clubs such as Chelsea, Leeds United, AFC Bournemouth, Fulham, and Sunderland. The interest from the English clubs reflects a widespread belief that he has significant untapped potential. This season, McAtee has made six Premier League appearances without scoring a goal or providing an assist. He moved to Forest from Manchester City in August 2025 for a reported initial fee of €25.5 million, with add-ons that could raise the total to €34 million. An England U21 international, McAtee has 8 goals in 24 caps. His contract is valid until 2030, and his current market value is €23 million, according to Transfermarkt.
