A Homecoming for Trafford
James Trafford has officially rejoined Manchester City from Burnley, with the transfer setting a new benchmark for British goalkeepers. The reigning Premier League champions have triggered a buy-back clause to bring the 22-year-old shot-stopper back to the Etihad Stadium.
Although figures vary between sources, City reportedly paid an initial £27 million with add-ons, while Burnley claim the total fee could reach £31 million — a deal that surpasses the £30 million Everton paid for Jordan Pickford back in 2017.
“The move to City is a record transfer fee for a British goalkeeper and a club record sale,” Burnley confirmed in a statement.
