According to German media Bistro and Ruhr News, Dortmund is very interested in Manchester City midfielder McCarthy. The report stated that since the 19-year-old wing player Duranville was injured, it can be clear that Dortmund must strengthen on the offensive line. So McCarthy entered their sight again.

For the 22-year-old midfielder, he has been relatively quiet in the past few weeks. Prior to this, Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Leverkusen were all interested in the England player, but then turned to other players for various reasons.

The situation now seems to have new progress: According to Biography, the attacking player once again ranks very high on Dortmund's potential signing list, while Ruhr News said Dortmund's interest in him was "significantly strengthened."

report stated that McCarthy meets the type of player Dortmund is looking for: he is a young player with great development potential, and the Yellow and Black Legion's psychological price limit is 25 million euros. This is roughly in line with Manchester City's valuation.

Mccarty just won the European Youth Championship with England U21. He is flexible in the offensive end and can play in the middle or on the right. Since his contract with Manchester City expires in 2026 and the prospect of getting playing time at Manchester City is not optimistic, Dortmund may be in a strong negotiating position.

McCarty is currently worth 20 million euros. Last season, he played 27 times for Manchester City, totaling 936 minutes, contributing 7 goals.
