Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United have reportedly received a boost in their quest to sign James McAtee from Manchester City in the summer transfer window..
Earlier this month, The Scottish Sun reported that Leeds are interested in signing McAtee on loan from Premier League rivals Manchester City this summer.
And now The Athletic are reporting that City are open to sending the 19-year-old English midfielder out on loan for next season.
If McAtee wants to leave the Etihad Stadium on loan and finds a suitable club for next season, then the Premier League champions will sanction a move, according to the report.

Could Leeds United sign James McAtee on loan from Manchester City?
In our opinion, Leeds United could be able to sign James McAtee on a loan deal from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
If the West Yorkshire club are able to convince the 19-year-old midfielder that a move to Elland Road for the short term would help them grow and develop as a footballer, then a loan deal could happen.
It seems that City will not stop the English teenager from pursuing a loan deal.
That means that it will be up to Leeds to make a deal happen with the teenager who has been likened to David Silva.
