BREAKING: James McAtee is attracting interest from Fulham and West Ham before the January transfer window, and the 22-year-old could command a fee upwards of £20M.

McAtee is still highly regarded at Man City and they have not ruled out offering him a new deal, with his current contract due to expire in 2026.

Man City bosses are insistent Pep Guardiola is telling the truth about his future and that he is genuinely weighing up his options. At least for now, according to club sources, Txiki Begiristain, Ferran Soriano and Khaldoon Al-Mubarak are still in the dark.

Contingency plans are in place at Man City with due diligence being carried out on a number of potential candidates to succeed Pep Guardiola including Bayer Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso.

MAJOR BREAKING: Pep Guardiola has agreed a one-year contract extension at Man City, plus the option of a further 12 months.
