VfB Stuttgart join Bayer Leverkusen in the race for Manchester City’s James McAtee

Sky Germany reports that VfB Stuttgart have added Manchester City’s James McAtee to their shortlist, likely as a potential replacement for Enzo Millot. 

Stuttgart are monitoring several different profiles in the position, with McAtee being a new one added. This is likely due to the future of Enzo Millot being up in the air. The DFB-Pokal winner has been linked with a move away this summer for several months now, and despite a poor season, Millot showed his level in the Pokal final, where he scored twice against Arminia Bielefeld. 

However, Stuttgart are not the only Bundesliga side interested. Eintracht Frankfurt are said to have made an enquiry, while Bayer Leverkusen are also interested. die Werkself have been linked with McAtee as a potential replacement for Florian Wirtz. The 22-year-old is said to be interested in the chance of playing in the Bundesliga. 

McAtee has mainly been a peripheral figure for City this season, playing 27 times in all competitions and scoring seven times.
