Manchester City midfielder James Mcatee remains a goal for the Bundesliga Bayer Leverkusen team.
Mail Sport revealed in December that the German champions were chasing the 22 -year -old and that they made a formal approach in January only to be rejected by the city.
However, with the Pep Guardiola side among those who seek to sign the Talisman of Leverkusen, Florian Wirtz this summer, the Germans actively seek a game creator who could fill the void and Mcatee remains firmly in his thinking.
Guardiola is considered by Guardiola, 22 years old and arrived as a substitute in Sunday's defeat against Liverpool.
Mcatee has not hidden his desire to nail a regular place in the first team in the city, but competition in the positions of the center of the country is fierce.
City could well lose Jack Grealish and Kevin de Bruyne this summer, but Mcatee is attracted to the regular football perspective of the first team.

He comes with City also interested in Florian Wirtz, whom they see as a player who could fit perfectly in his style.
The city is among Wirtz runners, which at 21, is a little younger than McAtee and has already been established on the German national side.
The Leverkusen coach, Xabi Alonso, has been promoted as a possible successor of Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid this summer.
Whites are another club interested in Wirtz, like Liverpool, but Jude Bellingham is well established in that role in the Spanish capital.
The city sees Wirtz as a player who could fit perfectly in his style and Leverkusen would consider asking Mcatee as part of any negotiation.
Meanwhile, Argentina's midfielder Claudio Echeverri will be linked to his new teammates in City after arriving today in England.
The 19 -year -old was signed by City of River Plate last year, but remained in Argentina on loan.
Another creator of games, captained Argentina in recent Champiknships U20 from South America.
