James Trafford Open to Summer Exit From Man City as Suitors Gather

His push for regular games after Donnarumma’s arrival has opened a broad market.

Overview

  • Fresh reporting on Wednesday put Liverpool and Chelsea into the race for the 23-year-old, according to Goal.com.
  • City want to keep Trafford but he is weighing an exit to play every week after losing the No. 1 role to Gianluigi Donnarumma, as reported by Florian Plettenberg.
  • Brighton view him as a ‘dream target’ if Bart Verbruggen departs, with Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle also monitoring his situation.
  • Juventus are tracking him but tight funds could push them toward an initial loan rather than a fee near the £35–40 million figure cited in other reports, including estimates from ex-City adviser Stefan Borson.
  • Strong cup performances for City and a desire to build his England case make guaranteed minutes the decisive factor in his next move.
