Manchester City are ready to open talks over a new contract for £25million-rated midfielder James McAtee following his successful loan spell with Sheffield United.
McAtee was instrumental in the Blades' promotion campaign despite a difficult early transition period as he adjusted to the physical rigours of the Championship. Ultimately, he had such an impact that he was named the club's young player of the year.
Indeed, manager Paul Heckingbottom would be keen to take the 20-year old McAtee back again but faces growing competition from Premier League rivals.
Brighton, Burnley, Leicester City, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford, Wolves and Leeds United have all expressed an interest in the England U21 international should he become available.
