Man City Re-sign Trafford, Setback for Newcastle

News summary

Manchester City have agreed to re-sign English goalkeeper James Trafford from Burnley for £27 million, utilizing a buy-back clause that allowed them to match Newcastle United's bid. Trafford, who left City two years ago, helped Burnley gain Premier League promotion and was named in the Championship team of the year. He has chosen to return to City over joining Newcastle, signing a five-year contract with an option for an additional year. Trafford will join a goalkeeper group that includes Ederson, while Stefan Ortega is now expected to depart. City accelerated the transfer in response to Newcastle's offer, despite initially planning to offload another goalkeeper first. The net cost to City is £13 million after accounting for the previous sale, and the move is considered a transfer setback for Newcastle's summer recruitment.
