Enzo Maresca is reportedly already planning his first signing if he takes over Manchester City, with a player from the current squad on his radar.
The player being linked is James McAtee, who Maresca knows well from his time working in City’s system and youth development setup.
Maresca is said to value McAtee’s creativity, technical ability, and versatility in attacking midfield roles, seeing him as someone who could fit into his tactical style.
City are expected to make major squad decisions this summer, and McAtee’s future is still open as several clubs are monitoring him.
For now, nothing is agreed, but he is emerging as a potential first signing in Maresca’s new project.
