James McAtee won’t be travelling to the US for Man City’s Club World Cup campaign.
James McAtee has been omitted from Manchester City’s travelling squad for the 2025 Club World Cup, fueling further speculation over his future with the club.
McAtee returned to the Etihad last summer following a bright loan spell at Sheffield United the previous season. The creative midfielder was a part of Pep Guardiola’s squad for the 2024–25 campaign and eventually racked up 27 appearances for the Cityzens across five competitions.
However, the 22-year-old played no more than a sporadic role and is now expected to depart the club permanently this summer despite Guardiola waxing lyrical over McAtee back in April.
