Man City will consider offers between £35m and £40m for goalkeeper James Trafford, according to reports.

The 23-year-old only re-signed from Burnley last summer, but the shot-stopper is keen on playing on a regular basis.

Trafford has been Gianluigi Donnarumma’s understudy, although manager Pep Guardiola has given him opportunities in both domestic cups.

The Daily Mail have confirmed his price tag, and it means the Cityzens would make a small profit on the keeper. They paid £31m to re-sign him from Burnley, although a sell-on clause meant they received £4m back from the Clarets.

Who will try to buy Trafford?

It is believed that there are at least two Premier League clubs keen on purchasing the England international.

Tottenham are seeking to replace current number one Guglielmo Vicario, who is expected to return to Italy at the end of the season.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, are also weighing up a move for Trafford. Emi Martinez pushed to leave the Midlands club last summer, and if he does finally end up moving away from Villa Park, a replacement will be required.

Will Newcastle also make a move for the Man City keeper?

The Magpies lost out to City when they failed to agree a fee with Burnley for Trafford last year, and they are expected to be in the market for a new No.1 once more.

However, the Daily Mail did not mention Eddie Howe’s side in their report. It may be the case that Trafford’s £40m valuation has put them off from making another attempt to sign him.

After the goalkeeper’s impressive performances in both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, though, City will be confident that at least one team will match their asking price.
