Record-breaking transfer in club history! Leeds agree deal for Manchester City player
Another blockbuster transfer of this summer.
Details: According to renowned journalist and insider Fabrizio Romano on his X social media page, Leeds United have reached an agreement with Manchester City over the transfer of 23-year-old City goalkeeper James Trafford.
It is reported that a verbal agreement has been reached between the two clubs, and the deal is now in its final stages.
The total value of the transfer will be £40 million plus bonuses, making Trafford the most expensive signing in Leeds' history. The goalkeeper has already agreed personal terms and is set to sign a long-term contract with the club until 2031.
Trafford is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days, after which all necessary documents will be signed to officially complete the transfer.
For Leeds, signing the English shot-stopper is seen as a key reinforcement ahead of the new season. The club hopes Trafford will become their first-choice keeper for years to come and live up to his record-breaking status.
