Overview

  • Galatasaray have shown interest in Ederson but are yet to submit a formal bid for the 31-year-old goalkeeper.
  • City plan to sell either Ederson or Stefan Ortega to comply with squad quotas before pursuing a replacement.
  • They hold a £40 million buy-back option for James Trafford and will have three days to match any bid Burnley accepts for the England Under-21 keeper.
  • Newcastle United have already had at least two offers for Trafford turned down by Burnley but continue to pursue the 22-year-old stopper.
  • Re-signing Trafford would supply a club-trained homegrown player and help clear excess foreign-player registrations for City’s Champions League squad.
