Burnley have now submitted an enquiry to sign a “talented” midfiedler ahead of rival interest from Ipswich Town, according to a new report.
Burnley’s Trafford set for Man City move
Since the end of last season, Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford has been linked with a move away from Turf Moor. The England under-21 international played a significant role in the Clarets’ promotion, as he kept a staggering 29 clean sheets in 45 Championship games, conceding just 16 goals in the process.
Newcastle United have been chasing Trafford for a while and even made an offer in the region of £40 million. However, the Magpies have lost out in the race, as Manchester City have now agreed a deal with Burnley to sign Trafford. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have triggered their buyback clause, which is under £40 million, and the player himself has now given the go-ahead to the move.
The Clarets are now expected to enter the market to find a replacement for Trafford, with it being reported earlier in the transfer window that they were interested in signing goalkeeper Daniel Peretz from Bayern Munich, as they look to use their connection with old manager Vincent Kompany to get an understanding of a possible transfer.
But the Lancashire side are not solely focusing on a new goalkeeper, as they are now challenging a Championship rival for the signing of a midfielder with experience at the highest level.
