"Manchester City new boy James Trafford is in talks to exit the club already. The Citizens have spent heavy in 2025, bringing in reinforcements across the pitch including in goal, where veteran custodian Ederson had to sit on the bench for Manchester City's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. Trafford has only played two Premier League games so far, but could already be leaving the Etihad Stadium, with talks ongoing for his exit."
"City manager Pep Guardiola has a wealth of goalkeepers at his disposal, having re-signed Trafford over the summer from Burnley for 31m, which the BBC confirmed to be a British record for a goalkeeper. Ederson has stayed at the club along with his deputy Stefan Ortega, while Marcus Bettinelli has signed as the third-choice, while City are also moving for yet another custodian."
James Trafford has played only two Premier League games for Manchester City and is in talks to leave the club. Manchester City signed Trafford from Burnley for £31m, a British record fee for a goalkeeper. The club retains Ederson and Stefan Ortega, has signed Marcus Bettinelli, and continues to pursue further goalkeeping reinforcements. Turkish outlet Politikam reports Besiktas and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have shown interest, with Trafford’s agent reportedly in Istanbul for talks. RMC Sport via Sport Witness reports Gianluigi Donnarumma has agreed to join City, increasing the need for Trafford to gain first-team minutes elsewhere, ideally in a larger league.
