City has exercised a buy-back clause and closed the deal for around 27 million pounds.

Trafford, who stood out for his performances in the Championship, will join the team starting August 1.

With this move, Guardiola’s side strengthens the goalkeeping position in light of the possible departure of Stefan Ortega or Ederson.
