Man City receive Ederson offer amid James Trafford transfer talks | OneFootball

Man City have reportedly received an offer for goalkeeper Ederson from Galatasaray as they “consider” re-signing James Trafford in the summer transfer window.

The Turkish outfit have submitted a bid of around £2.6m (€3m) for the 31-year-old, according to L’Equipe.

Ederson has been Man City‘s starting goalkeeper for eight years and a key part of their success, winning six Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League over that period.

But the Brazil international missed more action last season than in any previous campaign due to injury, starting 26 top-flight games. He averaged 35.7 starts in the prior seven seasons.

Man City receive Ederson offer amid James Trafford transfer talks

This may be the summer where Man City replace Ederson, as they are “considering a move” for Burnley shot stopper James Trafford, according to Fabrizio Romano.

City sold Trafford to the Clarets for £15m, plus £4m in add-ons, in July 2023, but they inserted a buy back clause into the deal.

Newcastle United have been heavily linked with a move for the England U21 international, but their efforts to sign the goalie have stalled after “contacts” between City and Burnley took place in “recent days”.

However, it is claimed that City will only sign Trafford if they sell either Ederson or Stefan Ortega. Romano adds that City want to “negotiate a fee lower than the buy back clause”, which is set at £40m.

Trafford came through the academy at City but never made a senior appearance before his move to Turf Moor. He struggled in his debut Premier League campaign, conceding 62 goals as Burnley were relegated to the Championship and was dropped before the end of the 2023/24 term.

The 22-year-old bounced back last year, keeping an impressive 29 clean sheets and conceding just 16 goals as the Lancashire outfit made an instant return to the Premier League.
