McAtee scored seven goals in 27 appearances for City last season. He’s been eager to leave the Etihad Stadium in the transfer window in order to find more regular first-team football.
He opted against traveling with Pep Guardiola’s squad for the FIFA Club World Cup this summer in favour of representing England at the Under-21 European Championship.
McAtee leaves City having come through the club’s academy and making 34 senior appearances.
He also had two spells on loan at Sheffield United, including the 2023-24 campaign when he made 30 appearances in the Premier League.
He’s the second major departure from the Etihad this week after Jack Grealish agreed a season-long loan deal with Everton.
