BVB in the race for McAtee: Frankfurt visit causes excitement!
The transfer market is simmering, and one name is particularly in focus at the moment: James McAtee. Manchester City's talented attacking midfielder has been linked with a move to BVB. At the same time, he is also being courted by Eintracht Frankfurt, which promises an exciting duel on the football pitch. In fact, Ruhr24 shows that BVB's interest in McAtee has grown significantly in the last few weeks. The player has already visited the training ground at Eintracht Frankfurt and was impressed by the conditions.
But what are the reasons behind this possible transfer? The 22-year-old midfielder, who recently won the European Championship with the England U21 national team, has a contract with Manchester City until 2026. His price? Probably at least 20 million euros. Eintracht Frankfurt has tried to sign him, as have other Bundesliga teams. Transfermarkt reports that Frankfurt are seriously working on options for the attacking midfield position, although McAtee could only be one of several options.
Intensive negotiations at BVB
However, BVB is currently at the top of the list of interested parties. As can be read in the current reports from FootballTransfers, Dortmund has intensified discussions with McAtee's advisors and plans to make an appropriate offer to Manchester City. Julien Duranville's long-term injury is also a factor that draws attention to McAtee. A transfer doesn't seem to be in the cards yet, but BVB has positioned itself strongly in the race for the young player.
Parallels are also drawn with another transfer: There were similar situations when Jobe Bellingham moved to Dortmund. He also visited Frankfurt, but ultimately decided on BVB. So McAtee could go in a similar direction.
The perspective for McAtee
With seven goals in 27 appearances last season, McAtee has already attracted attention in the Premier League. His versatility makes him a sought-after player as he can play both in the center and on the right wing. He is a very interesting player for BVB, especially with a view to the future team formation and development goals.
So it remains to be seen how the situation surrounding James McAtee will develop. BVB seems to have a strong negotiating position, especially since McAtee's playing time at Manchester City is limited. The coming weeks should be exciting, and Dortmund may be preparing for another coup on the transfer market.
