During the summer transfer window, Manchester City brought back their academy graduate, 22-year-old goalkeeper James Trafford. His former club Burnley received £27 million for the transfer. Trafford’s return could mark a new chapter in the club’s goalkeeping position.
Plans as the main number
According to The Telegraph, James Trafford is expected to be Manchester City’s first-choice goalkeeper for the upcoming season. This is, without a doubt, a big opportunity and responsibility for the young shot-stopper.
The Donnarumma factor
However, the situation could change if Gianluigi Donnarumma’s transfer goes through. Should the Italy national team goalkeeper join City, it is likely that Trafford and Donnarumma will share playing time, creating natural competition within the squad.
Negotiation status
It is reported that Manchester City have already spoken with Donnarumma’s agent, but there is still no official agreement or direct contact between the clubs.
Conclusion
For James Trafford, this season is a chance to establish himself as City’s first-choice keeper. But if the Donnarumma transfer happens, the fight for a starting spot will become even more intense. Fans are eagerly following how this situation unfolds.
