James refuses to settle for being a backup goalkeeper with no real chance to fight for the number one spot.

Reports claim that during negotiations, Trafford was promised the role of first-choice keeper. However, in the final days of the transfer window, the Citizens managed to secure a deal with then-PSG and Italian international goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, leaving Trafford with no hope of breaking into the starting lineup.

Trafford has made just six appearances for City across all competitions, keeping only two clean sheets.

His current contract with the club runs until 2030, and his market value is estimated at €30 million by Transfermarkt.
