Liverpool FC is reportedly eyeing James Trafford, a 23-year-old goalkeeper currently with Manchester City, who is eager to leave in search of more regular playing time. Trafford joined City from Burnley last summer but has fallen behind Gianluigi Donnarumma in the pecking order. According to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, Trafford has expressed a desire to move on after just one season. Liverpool and Chelsea are among the clubs that have declared interest, while Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, and Aston Villa are also considering him. Despite Liverpool's recent acquisition of Giorgi Mamardashvili as a potential successor to Alisson Becker, Trafford's impressive record—setting the highest number of consecutive clean sheets in the English second tier last season—makes him an attractive option. However, Trafford would need assurances of a starting position, which may be difficult given Alisson's presence at Anfield. His future remains uncertain as the summer transfer window approaches.
