According to reporter David Ornstein, Newcastle had the opportunity to complete the transaction to introduce Trafford before the Club World Cup.
According to reports from multiple media, Manchester City triggered Burnley goalkeeper Trafford's matching offer clause and will sign the 22-year-old.
David Ornstein revealed that before the Club World Cup, Newcastle had the opportunity to complete the transaction to introduce Trafford, and Manchester City did not consider signing back to Trafford at that time.
But Newcastle's offer was too low at that time, and it was too late to wait until Newcastle raised its offer, because Manchester City had already stepped in and convinced Burnley and Trafford to agree to the transfer.
