James McAtee Odds-On To Join Nottingham Forest This Summer
Nottingham Forest are now 8/13 favourites to sign Manchester City midfielder James McAtee, with reports suggesting their opening £25m bid was rejected, but further negotiations are expected in the coming days.
The 22-year-old spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Sheffield United and impressed despite the club’s relegation, sparking interest from multiple Premier League sides.
He stayed at City last season but played a bit-part role with substitute appearances throughout the campaign and now he's looking for first team football.
With Forest looking to strengthen their midfield, it’s expected they’ll return with a second offer as they push to land the English star permanently.
McAtee’s chances of first-team action under Pep Guardiola remain slim and betting sites now heavily favour a move away from the Etihad before the transfer window closes.
| James McAtee Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Nottingham Forest | 8/13 | 61.9% |
| Stay at Man City | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Everton | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| West Ham | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Tottenham | 12/1 | 7.7% |
What the expert says...
City Stay is Second Favourite in Market
According to the latest betting odds from bet365, McAtee now has a 61.9% chance of joining Nottingham Forest this summer and playing a big part in their Europa League campaign.
Second favourite in the market though is the player staying at Manchester City, but it would make sense for all parties for the player to finally leave the Etihad Stadium.
The Salford Silva, as he is affectionately dubbed by City fans, has been at the club since the age of 8.
