Manchester City is currently undergoing high consultations to sign the “incredible” star and is about to close by the end of July.
The future of Ederson’s Man City
More recently, there have been conflicting reports surrounding Adason’s future at Etihad Stadium, suggesting that Sky Sports Reporter Flori Amplettenberg initially has closed the Brazilians to move to Turkish champion Galatasarei.
But extensive reports have since suggested that the city is eager to protect the goalkeeper in the final year of his contract. In other words, there may not be a need to replace them in the near future.
Ederson, who was number one in all time at Etihad, is unlikely to want to play the second fiddle, but now there is a suggestion that Pep Guardiola’s side is making progress in pursuit of a new goalkeeper.
Give Me Sport Writer Sam C took him to X to reveal that Man City is giving a “advanced talk” over the moves of Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.
The deal is by no means sealed at this point, but there is a willingness to cross the line by the end of July, but it is unclear whether the Blues will need to diverge the £40 million buyback clause included in the previous player’s contract.

The British penalty saving ability is one of his key strengths, ranking in the top 1% of spot kicks per 90 in the past year, while simultaneously making his save percentage and top 1% of his goal.

The Blues are preparing a bid for the top defender, and Pep Guardiola is determined to strengthen his backline.
So Burnley’s star could be Adason’s ideal heir. City expert Stephen McKinnerney considers it impressive that goalkeepers also own the ball. “Trafford is very good, with his balls at his feet very good,
“Maybe it’s not Ederson, but if Ederson is 10 out of 10, then James is at least nine. Ederson is one of those weird ones, but I think you have to be the best in the world to be successful on the side you pass.”
It is still unclear whether city sanctions Adason departed this summer, but if so, there may not be a better alternative to Trafford.
