Stefan Borson can't believe Man City could re-sign James Trafford from Leeds

Stefan Borson dismisses speculation about James Trafford returning to Manchester City, saying the Leeds goalkeeper is unlikely to want another move back.

Former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson has ruled out speculation that James Trafford could return to the Etihad, telling Football Insider that rumours of another move are "ridiculous". City sold Trafford to Leeds for £40 million in the summer but retained a sell-on fee and right of first refusal.

Some Manchester City supporters have called for the club to trigger a move for the 24-year-old after concerns emerged over Gianluigi Donnarumma's recent errors, including being beaten at his near post by Ridle Baku in the 3-2 win over RB Leipzig. However, Borson expressed doubt that Trafford is the solution and suggested the goalkeeper would be reluctant to return for a third time.

"I'm not sure Trafford will want to come back again. It's starting to get a little bit ridiculous to come back three times," Borson said. He added that any potential move would not happen until the summer at the earliest, and that there is too much uncertainty around City's situation to focus on squad planning.
