"Manchester City are reportedly offering goalkeeper James Trafford to Newcastle United in a bid to try to sign Tino Livramento. The Sky Blues signed Trafford from Burnley this summer, but quickly afterwards also brought in another top class goalkeeper in the form of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is now clearly Pep Guardiola's number one. This will surely cast major doubt over Trafford's future, and a report from TEAMtalk claims he could already be offloaded by the club."
"While the Magpies probably won't be too keen to let Livramento leave, they could be tempted if it meant they had another chance of bringing Trafford to St James' Park. And for any fans wondering how to buy Newcastle vs Manchester City tickets for the game this weekend, if you do make it to the game then perhaps be aware that club chiefs could use this match as an opportunity to discuss this rumoured swap deal."
"Trafford is clearly not needed at City due to the presence of Donnarumma, but Livramento could quickly become an important player. The talented young England international can play right-back or left-back to a high standard, and that kind of versatility and intelligence looks like it would make him a good fit for Guardiola's side. It remains to be seen what his best position is, but he'd perhaps be suited to the right-back role for City as an upgrade on Matheus Nunes."
Manchester City have offered goalkeeper James Trafford to Newcastle United as part of a potential swap to sign Tino Livramento. City signed Trafford from Burnley this summer and subsequently signed Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is now Pep Guardiola's clear first-choice, leaving Trafford surplus to requirements. Newcastle value Livramento, who can play both right-back and left-back and offers versatility and intelligence. Newcastle previously showed interest in Trafford while he was at Burnley. Club chiefs could use the upcoming Newcastle vs Manchester City match as an opportunity to discuss the rumoured swap, but the deal remains uncertain.
