Leicester City’s playmaker has been a standout player in the Championship this season, earning a spot in the first team after Enzo Maresca took over as manager. The 21-year-old has scored four goals in 11 appearances, but has faced some setbacks due to injury.
His strong performances have reportedly attracted the interest of Premier League clubs, with Everton and Crystal Palace rumored to be eyeing a move for him in the upcoming transfer window. However, Leicester is likely to set a high price for McAteer, given his importance to the team and his contract only running until 2025.
While a move to the Premier League could be possible in the future, Leicester may hold out for a higher transfer fee and wait until the summer to make any decisions about McAteer’s future. Both the club and the player have time to consider their options, particularly if Leicester secures promotion back to the top flight. Despite potential distractions, McAteer’s impact on Leicester’s season is undeniable, and Maresca will likely prioritize keeping him happy and focused on the team’s goals.
