Sky: Manchester City has contacted Burnley on repurchase, wanting to negotiate to reduce repurchase fees

Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth reported that Manchester City has contacted Burnley on the buyback goalkeeper James Trafford.

It is reported that Blue Moon hopes to renegotiate the £40 million buyback clause set when the sale of Trafford in 2023.

If Trafford leaves the team, Burnley will enter the goalkeeper market, and Manchester City's substitute goalkeeper Ortega is one of their targets for inspection.

Newcastle has been paying attention to Trafford for a long time and has tried to introduce it many times in recent transfer windows, but none of them have been successful.
