Sky Sports reported that Strasbourg has inquired about James McAtee, a Nottingham Forest player.

RC Strasbourg have opened talks to sign James McAtee. Various high-profile sources, including Fabrizio Romano, have confirmed that RC Strasbourg have a concrete interest and that initial contact has already been made with his representatives. L'Equipe reports that Strasbourg appear to have a good chance of signing McAtee ahead of his numerous other admirers.

The BBC has reported, and L'Équipe has confirmed, that Strasbourg wishes to loan James McAtee from Nottingham Forest for the second half of the season. The French club hopes that the very good relations established with Nottingham Forest since the €35 million transfer of Dilane Bakwa last September will assist with the deal.

Team Talk reports that Chelsea is interested in Nottingham Forest playmaker James McAtee. New reports suggest that BlueCo is considering McAtee for a transfer to Strasbourg, rather than to Chelsea.
