Leeds United have reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City to sign goalkeeper James Trafford in what will become the club’s record transfer.
The deal is worth £40 million plus add-ons, with both clubs agreeing on the framework of the transfer following successful negotiations. Formalities are expected to be completed over the coming days before the move is officially announced.
Trafford has been offered a long-term contract by Leeds United and is ready to complete the transfer once the remaining paperwork and medical are finalized.
The 23-year-old goalkeeper is regarded as one of England’s brightest talents and is expected to become Leeds’ first-choice shot-stopper as the club continues to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season.

Manchester City are set to sanction the transfer after reaching an agreement with Leeds, bringing Trafford’s time at the club to an end as he prepares for a new challenge at Elland Road.
With a verbal agreement now in place, all attention turns to the completion of the formal steps, with the signing expected to be finalized in the coming days.
