BVB and Bayer: Hunting for Mancity Jewel James McATEE!

Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen show lively interest in James Mcatee from Manchester City. The 22-year-old midfielder has a contract that runs at Manchester City by 2026. Trainer Pep Guardiola praises Mcateee as talented and ripe, which further attracts his potential customers.

Dortmund has been observing Mcateee for several years and considering an offer in winter. Leverkusen sees him a possible successor for Florian Wirtz. Mcateee was born in Salford and started his youth career at Manchester United before switching to Manchester City. In the past two seasons he has been on loan for Sheffield United.

playing style and performance

mcateee can be used flexibly in the offensive area, be it as a tens, eighth, right wing or storm tip. This season he was used ten times in competitive games, being substituted seven times as a joker. Guardiola emphasizes its technical skills, pace, physicality and determination. With a strong left foot and a preference for dribbling on the right side, Mcateee received the nickname "Salford Silva" because of his way of playing, which is reminiscent of David Silva.

Despite its strengths, Mcateee has weaknesses in decision -making and using his right foot. He also campaigns for the importance of mental health in sport. At the moment, however, he only has limited operations, which fuels speculation about his future. While Dortmund is interested in reinforcement for the position of the tens, a rental business with a purchase option or a permanent change in summer is considered.

on the part of Manchester Citys it is emphasized that the focus is on possible entrances instead of exits. The association plans to issue £ 100 million for new players, include possible new additions such as Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, Ederson von Atalanta and Abdukodir Khusanov by RC Lens. This is a reaction to injury problems that affect Guardiola. Despite the appearing dissatisfaction with McATEES with his season, Manchester City plans not to give it up this month. After a strong appearance against Leicester City, in which he contributed to a goal, he received praise from his teammates, including Kevin de Bruyne and Pep Guardiola, who recognizes the talent and the potential of the player for more missions in the future
