Leeds United has secured goalkeeper James Trafford from Manchester City for a club-record fee of £40m, marking a significant addition to their squad.
Leeds United has officially signed goalkeeper James Trafford from Manchester City in a deal worth an initial £40m, which is a record for the club. The 23-year-old has agreed to a five-year contract with Leeds.
Trafford's transfer surpasses Leeds' previous record of £35.5m paid for Georginio Rutter in January 2023. The move comes as Leeds seeks to strengthen their goalkeeping position following the departure of Karl Darlow and an inconsistent season from Lucas Perri.
With this signing, Leeds' total spending during the transfer window exceeds £70m. Trafford is anticipated to provide the stability needed in goal, while Perri is expected to move to Torino on loan with a buy option.
