Manchester Evening News reported that with Madison seriously injured, Manchester City now has the opportunity to sell McCarty to Tottenham.

Guardiola's plan to streamline Manchester City's bloated lineup this summer is no secret. With new players such as Trafford, Bettinelli, Nouri, Reindes, Nipan and Sherkey joining, plus large-scale signings in the transfer window in January, Guardiola decided to reduce the lineup to maintain harmony in the locker room.

Many Manchester City youth training players can be loaned out, while Glalish, Phillips and even college graduate McCarthy are allowed to transfer. Although the 22-year-old midfielder performed well in limited opportunities, he never got a stable playing time. With only one year left in the contract, McCarthy chose to serve as the England U21 team in the European Youth League this summer instead of participating in the Club World Cup with Manchester City, which has shown its future direction.

McCarthy's net worth rose sharply after leading England to the U21 European Cup championship. Bundesliga clubs such as Frankfurt and Dortmund and Nottingham Forest are both interested in introducing them. As Madison is missing for 6-7 months due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament on his right knee, Tottenham may also join the battle. It is reported that Tottenham coach Thomas Frank admires McCarthy quite well.

In the context of the matching needs of all parties, this transfer may become a win-win choice for all parties.
