Newcastle United’s hopes of signing James Trafford from Burnley have been dashed with Manchester City entering the race for the goalkeeper. City’s advantage lies in the buy-back clause they embedded when selling Trafford to Burnley in the past. Despite agreeing to personal terms with Newcastle, Trafford is open to returning to Manchester City, putting Newcastle in a challenging position. The outcome now depends on the agreement that can be reached between Burnley and the two interested clubs. Meanwhile, City is exploring various options for their goalkeeping position amid uncertainties surrounding Ederson and Stefan Ortega’s future at Etihad Stadium. Recent reports suggest that City is now turning their focus to Diogo Costa, Portugal’s national team goalkeeper who currently plays for Porto. With impressive performances and two Liga Portugal titles under his belt, Costa is seen as a suitable target for Manchester City. If the transfer materializes, City is likely to end their pursuit of Trafford and focus on making Costa their main goalkeeper for the 2025/26 season.
