Man City star reportedly agrees personal terms as club identify replacement  image

Manchester City need to make exits happen to secure funds and help balance their books. 

City have a multitude of players that they are looking to offload, and a few players could get significant funds for the club.

Ederson has reportedly agreed on personal terms with Galatasaray, according to Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg

Galatasaray would still need to reach an agreement with City, and this could be tricky depending on the two clubs' valuations of the goalkeeper. The move would also mean City would need to find a new keeper. 

Which goalkeeper is City interested in buying?

The Mancunian club is said to be inquiring about buying back James Trafford from Burnley, according to Fabrizio Romano

City sold Trafford to Burnley in 2023 and included a buy-back clause in the deal. The clause is worth £40m, but City are trying to negotiate a lower fee. 

Trafford has agreed to the move should the two clubs find an agreement about his price, and if one of City's goalkeepers secures a move away. 

Trafford had 29 clean sheets in the Championship last season, helping Burnley secure promotion back to the Premier League

The goalkeeper is also only 21 years old, which Pep Guardiola and his staff see as an investment with long-term potential.
