Manchester City, who said goodbye to Kevin de Bruin at the end of last season, reportedly risks losing another top star in reports that they have agreed to a big-money deal with another club.
James Trafford: Rejoin Man City’s “special” moment
Of course, Manchester City was busy with the incoming front as rumors continued to arrive. Taking a list of up to six signatures for the summer, citizens have recently welcomed James Trafford’s return after hijacking a Newcastle United deal and signing England International for around £27 million.
Just two years after he left for Burnley after sealing off his return to Etihad, Trafford told City’s official website:The revived city is a special and proud moment for both me and my family.
“I always dreamed of being able to return to Manchester City one day, which is where I call my hometown, and it’s a truly special football club with amazing people who create unique places like work and play.
“I am also very excited and honored to be given the opportunity to work under PEP and with such a world-class group of athletes. I am still very young and hungry to continue learning and improving.

“I also can’t wait to play for the first time in front of great City fans and will do everything I can to make this amazing club even more successful.”
While some may naturally assume that Trafford has arrived to provide backup to Ederson under Pep Guardiola, recent reports suggest that this may not be the case.
Ederson agrees to a £13 million Galata Salei contract
As reported by Bootroom’s Graeme Bailey, Ederson has now agreed to a deal to sign Galatasaray. Based on these reports, all that remains for the Turkish club to do is a deal with Man City. However, it remains to be seen whether citizens will open the door for Brazilians to leave.
Trafford’s arrival will ease the exit blow caused by Adason, but questions remain as to how ready they are to step up in Etihad. His second season as a Premier League starter, and was previously relegated to Burnley, the city may struggle with trying to regain the British crown a year after recognizing Liverpool to the Champions.
“I have said many times how many years we have been together, what we have been successful, and I can’t visualize without him.
“He made two incredible saves. Stephen is the best I’ve seen one-on-one and I’m sure that’s what I’m working with him.
Trafford doesn’t just replace goalkeepers. Ederson is one of the best in Premier League history, which he especially owns, and as a result, he has won the praises of Guardiola.
