Trafford only returned to the Etihad Stadium last July, with a £27 million deal from Burnley. Man City beat Newcastle to the signature of the 23-year-old goalkeeper.

James Trafford chose to return to the Citizens because he was confident he would become the number 1 goalkeeper when Ederson left. In fact, he was the starting goalkeeper for the first 3 rounds of the Premier League this season.

Pep Guardiola then brought in Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain, making Trafford his second option in goal.

According to Sportsmail, the 23-year-old English goalkeeper is very disappointed and considering leaving when the winter transfer window opens.

England coach Thomas Tuchel has announced that he will only call up players who regularly play for his club for the 2026 World Cup.

Therefore, James Trafford needs to be on the field to have a chance to overthrow Jordan Pickford's number 1 position in the Three Lions' goal.

Man City are also facing the prospect of losing goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, Guardiola's fourth choice in goal.

That means the Spanish coach will have to consider signing a new goalkeeper in the winter transfer window.
