1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 11th The British media post reported that Newcastle had a conversation with Burnley about goalkeeper Trafford, but given Burnley’s initial asking price of nearly £40 million, the deal is not close yet.
Traford, 22, expressed his willingness to join Newcastle last summer, but the two clubs failed to reach an agreement on the transfer.
The two clubs have had another conversation this month, but sources noted that as it is currently in the process, it will still take some time to complete the deal.
Traford is still eager for a transfer, and the deal may eventually reach a compromise, but may continue to delay this summer window.
Newcastle coach Eddie Howe hopes to complete most of the business before the team returns to pre-season training in early July, but now the team is operating with the CEO and sports director leaving office, and all matters are progressing slowly.
In addition, reports pointed out that Newcastle is still seeking to sign Nottingham Forest winger Ilanga.
Traford, 22, has contracted with Burnley until June 2027, and will play 45 games in the 24-25 season, score 29 games in clean sheets and concede 16 goals. Currently, the player De has turned 22 million euros.
