Borusisa Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Nottingham Forest remain at the front of the race for Manchester City midfielder James McAtee.
The 22-year old, fresh from leading England U21s to European Championship victory, is ready for a fresh challenge away from City as he seeks more regular game time.
Mail Sport reported in December how a raft of clubs have been showing interest in England and Italy but the strongest interest has been from Germany and the Bundesliga still seems a likely destination.
Suitors believe McAtee can still be prised away for around £25million though City value him more highly.
He has one year left on contract and scored seven goals in 27 City appearances last season, he also has experience from playing on loan at Sheffield United for two seasons, in the Championship and Premier League.
Fiorentina, Roma and Atalanta are among his admirers in Serie A and other Premier League sides have enquired but Dortmund, Frankfurt and Forest have maintained contact from the start since it became apparent Pep Guardiola would consider allowing McAtee to leave.
McAtee has made 48 Premier League appearances altogether and six in the Champions League. He got two assists and a goal to help inspire England U21s to their Euros triumph last month.

Try to understand fellow fans that Pep uses patience and time to develop his players in foden and Lewis whist the players are eager to play every match for this they become unhappy and pep never want to keep an unhappy player. Foden , lewis oreily and bob have all been patience and are having their share. Why can’t Palmer mcatee delap and co be

pls give him chance Mr pep
He already has the chance but what more time does he needs apart from what has been given to him. Even senior players are benched but they don’t complain as lads do

What's wrong with City for letting it young prospect leave the club? I really don't don't understand why Pep won't give these lads opportunities
The young players after being given opportunity begin to call for more game time and Pep doesn’t want to keep unhappy players as well. Consider foden lewis bob and now nico who are ok with their playing time and pep is keeping them

Is time Pep should let the old guys leave and give opportunity to the young lads, look at what Luis Enrique doing with these young lads at PSG, look at Chelsea young squad what they are doing , Football now is about young lads with hot blood.
