Leeds in Advanced Talks for City’s Trafford

Leeds United have opened direct talks with Manchester City over a move for goalkeeper James Trafford, sources indicate. The 23-year-old England international is leaning toward a switch to Elland Road, and the Whites are now pushing to get the deal over the line. Newcastle United had also shown interest—making club-to-club contact with City—but the Magpies have since cooled their pursuit. According to information, the 23-year-old was discussed between the two Premier League sides during conversations about a potential Sandro Tonali move, but that avenue never progressed. Leeds now appear to be Trafford’s likeliest destination.
