The Sunday Mirror reports that Man City are open to offers in the region of £25 million for McAtee this summer.

The 22-year-old midfielder, who can also play as a winger, has struggled for regular playing time at the Etihad, making just three league starts this season.

Leeds fans are hopeful that Elland Road will be his next destination, as the team currently lacks depth in the number 10 role.

Should Leeds United succeed in their pursuit, McAtee’s arrival could add much-needed creativity and depth to their attacking midfield, increasing their hopes for a strong Premier League campaign next season.

Along with a creative presence in the middle of the park, the Whites are also targeting a move for a goal scorer and Jamie Vardy is on their radar.
