Overview

• Ederson has reached personal terms with Galatasaray and awaits a transfer fee agreement to leave Manchester City.
• City are in talks with Burnley to trigger a £40 million buy-back clause for James Trafford and are seeking a reduction on that fee.
• The buy-back option has blocked Newcastle United’s approach and guarantees City 20% of any future sale should Burnley decide to profit from Trafford.
• Trafford left City in 2023, established himself as Burnley’s first-choice keeper, and earned an England senior squad call-up in 2024.
• Pep Guardiola’s reshuffle underscores Manchester City’s strategy to reintegrate homegrown talent as they rebuild their goalkeeping department for 2025-26.
