According to Portuguese media "Globe", Manchester City will not sign Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
It is not yet certain whether City will sign a new goalkeeper, but this will only happen if one of Ederson or Ortega's two goalkeepers left. A few weeks ago, it was reported that Ortega had received contact from other teams, but is currently expected to stay. As for Ederson, with only one year left in the player contract, Manchester City has known about the interest from Galatasaray, but has not received any official offer yet. If Ederson transfers, it will free up space and funds for Manchester City to sign a new goalkeeper, who will not choose Diogo Costa, according to local media outlets Mannwan and Romano.
Manchester City's target is 22-year-old Burnley goalkeeper Trafford. The player has played for Manchester City's youth training for 10 years until his transfer to Burnley in July 2023 with a 46 million euro repurchase clause. Manchester City has allegedly held preliminary negotiations with Burnley to try to reduce the amount of the buyback. Last season, Trafford helped Burnley return to the Premier League as the main goalkeeper, conceding only 16 goals in 45 appearances and 29 clean sheets.
