James McAtee Visits Eintracht Frankfurt Ahead of Potential Transfer From Manchester City

James McAtee, a young midfielder from Manchester City, is in Germany. He’s checking out Eintracht Frankfurt for a possible move this summer.

MCATEE ARRIVES IN FRANKFURT FOR TALKS

McAtee is visiting the club’s facilities and talking about a transfer. At 22, he didn’t play much last season at City, with only 15 appearances and three league starts. This visit is just to explore options, and he’s not having a medical exam yet. Several clubs are interested in him, including Borussia Dortmund and some Premier League teams. The competition is tough.

EINTRACHT FRANKFURT LOOK TO STRENGTHEN BEFORE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RETURN

Eintracht finished third in the Bundesliga, earning a spot in the Champions League. They’re now in an ambitious phase, looking for young talent. McAtee could be a key player at Frankfurt, as they are known for developing top young players. His performances, especially as the captain of the England U21 team, have made him very sought after this summer.

A previous report indicated that McAtee recently captained the England under-21 side to success at the Under-21 European Championship.

WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR MCATEE AND FRANKFURT?

There’s no deal yet, but Frankfurt are eager to sign him soon. McAtee could make his Champions League debut next season and get regular playing time, which is important for his growth. Eintracht’s first match this season is against Werder Bremen, another top German side. It’s a tough start for the club and McAtee, if he joins. City, on the other hand, might need more midfielders soon.

Earlier reports note that Manchester City is set to cash in on James McAtee, who is expected to transfer for a fee in the region of £20-25 million.
