McAtee has been limited to just 13 Premier League appearances this season, but he has scored three goals, and is attracting interest from a variety of suitors; along with Newcastle and AC Milan, Manchester United are even said to be monitoring developments. Leverkusen made a bid for the player in January, attempting to take him on loan with the option of a £25 million ($33m) transfer in the summer. McAtee wants assurances of first-team football next season.
