Frankfurt Now 2/5 Favourites for City Starlet
Manchester City midfielder James McAtee looks increasingly likely to leave the club this summer, with bookmakers now making Eintracht Frankfurt the 2/5 favourites to land the 22-year-old.
The significant move in the market follows trusted reporter Fabrizio Romano’s revelation that McAtee was spotted in Frankfurt on a visit to the Bundesliga club.
According to other reports, a deal is "advanced" with a permanent transfer looking likely.
City are actively looking to generate pure profit sales this summer to meet Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR) compliance, and McAtee, an academy graduate, offers maximum financial upside with no amortised cost on their books.
Bet365's market now gives an implied probability of 71.4% that McAtee joins Frankfurt this summer.
| James McAtee Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Eintracht Frankfurt | 2/5 | 71.4% |
| Nottingham Forest | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| West Ham | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Borussia Dortmund | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Stay at Man City | 16/1 | 5.9% |
What the expert says...
Nottingham Forest Still in the Picture
While Frankfurt leads the race, Nottingham Forest remain in contention at 3/1, having previously been linked with the England U21 international.
Forest are in the market for creative midfield depth, and McAtee would offer Premier League experience following his loan spells at Sheffield United.
Morgan Gibbs White could still leave for Tottenham this summer despite legal issues surrounding a deal and that may open up the gap for McAtee.
