James McAtee

[Shaffer92]

I'm happy about it but I do struggle to see where/when he's going to get minutes. I was surprised he wasn't loaned out to a club in the championship or elsewhere.

 

[skillman]

What a few days to be a blue, get in.

Not sure why but I was sure he was going to be going, glad I was wrong!

McAtee
Cancelo✔
Hopefully Bernardo and Pep next!

 

[super_city_si]

WTF is going on today? Beginning to feel like Ricky Bobbys dad, things are a little too perfect

 

[Mayor West]

Only three years though? Suppose he'll see how it goes, development and first team chances wise

 

[Withnail]

Great news, tbh I had a few doubts he would sign. Bernardo, Pep and Sterling next hopefully.

 

[OntarioBlue]

This is great news. This young man is a great prospect and together with Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Liam Delap (who apparently said today that he‘s not going anywhere) and Julian Alvarez will hopefully form a key part of our first team for the next ten years.

 

[Phil1]

Haha! Didn’t even get 5 mins...

 

[ManCitizens.]

Technically 4 and a half year deal isn’t it with the 18 months remaining. Can’t complain really

Lol.

let’s hope he’s handled as well as Foden!

It’s a three year extension so he’s contracted until summer 2026.

 

[Ric]

Brilliant news. What a few days it's been.

Oh right I thought he only had 6 months left, not too bad then

I bet you said the same about Foden and Palmer.

This is great news. The more of these young lads we can tie down to long-term deals, the better, provided they have the talent, of course.

 

[Josh_D]

I’m as happy as Larry. Second best news I’ve heard all year. Hopefully, he gets to properly develop while at City.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

That's the best news of the day! Thought he was one who might have slipped away.

 

[mcfc01]

Great news.Hopefully will get some game time and develop into a regular first teamer with us.

 

[kippax123]

Love in his interview he mentioned playing the City way . Top player .

 

[bluestevei]

James McAtee believes there is much more to come in terms of his development at Manchester City in the wake of signing his new contract extension.

James McAtee pens new deal​

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder put pen to paper on a new three-year deal today that will extend his stay at the Club through to 2026.
One of the most highly regarded players to have emerged from our Academy over the past few years, McAtee made his senior City debut in September of last year in our 6-1 Carabao Cup win at home to Wycombe.

I thought the same.
