Manchester City Signs James Trafford for 27 Million: New Star Goalkeeper

James Trafford Returns to Manchester City

Manchester City has announced the return of goalkeeper James Trafford, from Burnley, this Tuesday. The deal is estimated at £27 million (36.3 million dollars). Trafford has signed a five-year contract with an option for an additional one at the Etihad. City surpassed Newcastle United’s interest to secure the arrival of the 22-year-old player, just two years after letting him go to Burnley. Trafford played 78 matches in his two years with Burnley, keeping an impressive 29 clean sheets during the season in which the team achieved promotion.

James Trafford has signed for Manchester City from Burnley. The England youth international will wear the number 1 shirt for City and becomes the club’s sixth signing this summer.

Returning to City is a very special and proud moment for me and my family. I always dreamed of being able to return someday.
