Leeds United are eyeing a significant summer acquisition with their interest in Manchester City’s promising winger James McAtee.
According to Give Me Sport, the 21-year-old, who has impressed during his loan spells at Sheffield United, is available for £20 million.
McAtee’s tenure with the Blades has seen him net 14 goals over two seasons, marking him as a potential standout for Leeds, especially if they secure Premier League promotion this weekend by defeating Southampton in the play-off final.
McAtee’s wage demands, currently at a modest £10,000 per week, make him an enticing prospect for the Whites. His experience in the Premier League with Sheffield United has already demonstrated his readiness for top-flight football. A move to Elland Road could offer McAtee the regular playing time he is unlikely to find at Manchester City, fostering his development into a key player under the right guidance.
Leeds United’s pursuit of McAtee could also be influenced by the ongoing transfer speculation surrounding Crysencio Summerville. The addition of McAtee would enhance their attacking depth, crucial for their Premier League campaign. The financial aspect of McAtee’s potential transfer also aligns with Leeds’ strategy, as they could offer him a more lucrative contract.
