James Trafford's release clause talk hints at possible City return

Release clause talks

James Trafford is in discussions with Leeds United about including a release clause in his contract, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. The clause would be triggered by “specific clubs/circumstances” – a detail that opens the door to a possible third spell at Manchester City.

Reports suggest the goalkeeper could leave that door open to returning to the Etihad. Whether City would be one of those specific clubs remains unclear, but the conversation itself hints at a path back for a player who has already left the club twice.

Trafford's career keeps circling back to Manchester. The next move, if it comes, would be his third time around.
