A summer signing at Manchester City already wants to leave the Sky Blues next summer, with 4 Premier League clubs interested in his profile.
Last July, Manchester City invested £26.5m (€31.2m) to bring back James Trafford from Burnley. The English goalkeeper, who came through the Sky Blues' academy, was coming off two seasons as a starter in both the Premier League and the Championship. However, the 23-year-old did not imagine that the Manchester club would sign Gianluigi Donnarumma just over a month later for £25.4m (€30m).
The result: Trafford, who surely returned hoping to be first choice, is now the Italian's backup. As such, he has only played 10 matches this season, including 1 in the Champions League and 3 in the Premier League. This situation does not suit the player, who would like to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer to regain a starting role, according to TeamTalk.
James Trafford already wants to leave Manchester City
The British outlet reports that Leeds have emerged as serious candidates to sign the Manchester City goalkeeper. The Peacocks, who brought in Lucas Perri last summer, are not entirely satisfied with the Brazilian goalkeeper. They are therefore considering investing in the young English stopper.
In this matter, TeamTalk report that some sources believe Leeds (16th) would have a strong chance of signing James Trafford if they secure their Premier League survival this season. However, competition could be fierce in this case as Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle are also mentioned among the Mancunian's suitors.
For their part, Manchester City, who would not oppose their goalkeeper's departure, place great value on his potential and could demand more than £28.8m (€34m) to let him go. A significant sum that could put off some suitors.
