James McAtee is seemingly close to signing for Nottingham Forest in what is a big week for Manchester City | OneFootball

This week looms as a big week for departures for Manchester City. Jack Grealish is on the verge of completing a loan move to Everton. Surprisingly, Savinho has been linked with a move to Tottenham by Fabrizio Romano. There is another player who could leave Manchester City this week. That is James McAtee. It has now been reported that the talented young playmaker is on the verge of completing a move to Nottingham Forest. If that deal goes through, it will allow James McAtee to further develop as a player.

Nottingham Forest are seemingly edging closer to agreeing on a transfer fee with Manchester City to sign James McAtee.

Jack Gaughan of the Daily Mail has reported via X that Nottingham Forest are on the verge of signing James McAtee from Manchester City. Furthermore, Gaughan reports that Manchester City is set to receive a transfer fee of around £30 million from Forest.

It is looming as a big week of departures for Manchester City.

With James McAtee seemingly on the verge of a move to Nottingham Forest and Jack Grealish also close to a move to Everton, a big week of departures at Manchester City is looming. It is no secret that Pep Guardiola wants his squad trimmed before the transfer window closes. That process has kick-started this week. It may well continue depending on how the Savinho situation develops.

For James McAtee, a move to Nottingham Forest will give him the opportunity to establish himself as a Premier League player. He was highly unlikely to get that chance at Manchester City. That opportunity should be available to him at Forest.

For Manchester City, they look set to make a good profit by selling James McAtee. That is a good move for the club. If they can also insert a buy-back clause in the deal to sell McAtee that would also represent a win for the club.
