Bundesliga heavyweights fight to land James McATEE after the attacking midfielder captain of England under 21 years old against European glory against Germany.
With just a year about his contract, McATEEE will permanently leave Manchester City this summer and each deal will include a return clause, which was not inserted to Chelsea two years ago.
The 22-year-old, familiar with the bracelet by Lee Carsley and Man of the Match in the final on Saturday of Saturday, is appreciated at more than £ 25 million.
Five Bundesliga parties follow his situation, including Borussia Dortmund, who sell ex-City Academy star Jamie Bynoe-Gittens to Chelsea for £ 55.5 million.
RB Leipzig, Frankfurt and Stuttgart have registered interest in McATEE, while Bayer Leverkusen are long -term admirers.
Mcatee will be the last in a long series of young city talents to go for a considerable fee and his departure would be close to breaking the £ 400 million for selling Academy players in the past decade.
Scored seven goals in 27 performances last season, McATee's route to more competitions under Pep Guardiola will be blocked by the conquest of Rayan Cherki and the return of Oscar Bobb from a broken leg.
McATEE's form at the euro expressed the decision not to travel with City for the club World Cup while Guardiola's team starts in the early hours of Tuesday morning on the last 16 phase against Al Hilal.
Weather forecasts suggest the collision with the 19-way Saudi Pro League champions in camping the World Stadium of Orlando, can be interrupted by thunderstorms. City's pre-season friendly against Barcelona here was postponed with 80 minutes due to storms last summer.
The meeting also presents various reunions. Portuguese defender Joao Canneo left the city under a cloud after disagreement with Guardiola in January 2023, while Al Hilal's Chief Executive Esteve Calzada is previously the Chief Commercial Officer of the Stadswoethoetball group.
Marc Boixasa, Chief Performance Officer of Al Hilal, was previously the confidant of the stars of Guardiola for the first five years of the regime of the Catalan.
