Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a report that claims the club have rejected an £8 million bid from Brighton for teenage prodigy James McAtee.

The versatile 18-year-old attacking midfielder, who was born in Salford, has been in Manchester City’s academy for eight years, having first joined the club in 2013. He is one of the club’s most exciting youth academy talents at present.

Known as the ‘Salford Silva’, the stylish playmaker has drawn comparisons with former City star David Silva and was formerly with Manchester United’s academy.

After switching to City he has continued to impress staff and supporters with his performances prompting interest from a number of Premier League Clubs.

Crystal Palace and West Ham are among the other clubs interested in taking on the highly rated attacking-midfielder, with Brighton so far making the only concrete offer.

According to The Athletic, the Seagulls have had an £8million bid rejected by the Premier League champions for the 18-year-old midfielder, who is considered to be one of the brightest young talents at Manchester City.

The report claims that City rebuffed Brighton’s offer because they believe he has a future at the club and that he is not for sale at any price.

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, many Man City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.
