🚨 Man City will complete a deal for Newcastle target James Trafford — once he has a medical next week. 
🤝 In the last XX hours City matched a £27m agreement Newcastle had in place for the goalkeeper, triggering a “matching-clause” that was signed when he left City for Burnley in 2023. 
😐 This leaves #NUFC powerless in the situation, regardless of where Trafford wanted to go.
❓ This explains why Newcastle’s move for the GK went quiet the past few weeks with City making a move.
