According to Goal, Liverpool have declared an interest in signing James Trafford. Sources have informed that a bid of £30m could be enough to get Manchester City's approval. Liverpool’s potential move is dependent on guaranteeing Trafford that he will be the starter and on Alisson leaving this summer.

According to Goal.com, Liverpool and Chelsea are leading the interest from a total of six Premier League clubs in signing Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford, 23. The England international has indicated his desire to leave Manchester City to secure a primary goalkeeper position. He has served as a back-up this season despite impressive performances, including a key role in the Carabao Cup final victory against Arsenal. His contract with Manchester City runs until 2030, and Transfermarkt lists his current market value at €25.00m. Reports from April 2026 suggest a transfer fee could reach £30 million (approx. €35 million).
