James Trafford has officially signed for Manchester City in this summer transfer window. The goalkeeper was on a radar of Guardiola since the start of the year, when the world came to know about his delightful performance for Burnley in the Championship. The €27 million buy-back clause deal was agreed with City and they signed the goalkeeper on a five-year contract (until June 2030). Trafford has been given No.1 jersey by Man City, which possibly indicates the exit of Ederson in this window.
Manchester City have officially re-signed goalkeeper James Trafford in the ongoing summer transfer window. The 21-year-old shot-stopper, who impressed with his performances for Burnley in the Championship, has been on Pep Guardiola’s radar since the start of the year.
City triggered a €27 million buy-back clause to secure Trafford’s return and handed him a five-year contract running until June 2030. In a significant move, the club has also given him the No.1 jersey, sparking speculation over Ederson’s future at the Etihad Stadium.
Trafford’s commanding displays and shot-stopping ability have made him one of England’s most promising goalkeepers. With Guardiola reportedly keen to integrate him into the first team, the young keeper could be set for a major role in City’s upcoming campaign.
