Burnley goalkeeper and England U21 international James Trafford could be making a return to Manchester City. This information comes from journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The source claims that the Citizens will activate a buy-back option if either of their current goalkeepers, Brazilian Ederson or German Stefan Ortega, leave the team.
Trafford, 22, is a product of Manchester City’s youth academy. After spending two loan spells at Bolton, he moved to Burnley. Since 2023, the goalkeeper has made 73 appearances for the club, keeping 31 clean sheets. Transfermarkt estimates the player at 22 million euros.
Manchester City will face Wolverhampton in their opening match of the English Premier League. The game is scheduled for August 16.
