James Trafford

The most recent concrete valuation is the reported fee for his transfer from Burnley to Manchester City in July 2025, which sources placed between €30M and €36M. Just prior to that move, in June-July 2025, reports indicated Burnley valued him at over €40M, while Newcastle United had a bid of £27M (approx. €32M) rejected and were reportedly prepared to offer around £30M (approx. €35M). A Transfermarkt valuation of €30M was noted in November 2025. Earlier reports from late 2024 and early 2025 mentioned potential fees around £20M (approx. €23-24M).

Our valuation is driven by James Trafford's recent transfer from Burnley to Manchester City in July 2025 for a fee consistently reported between €30M and €36M. Despite his subsequent lack of first-team football, the persistent and strong interest from multiple Premier League clubs like Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur indicates his market value remains firm. His youth, potential, and status as a top English goalkeeping prospect support a valuation in this range.
