Burnley have been relatively quiet so far in the summer transfer window, but it has gone wild in the last two days and drained over 35,000,000 euros from their account. Yesterday he made the recent Basel striker Zeki Amdouni the most expensive player in the club’s history (18,600,000), and today they also brought England’s most talented goalkeeper James Trafford to Turf Moor for a huge sum.Is it because of the influence that Vincent Kompany enjoys at the Etihad but Manchester City turned the 20-year-old octopus over to their former captain and current coach of Burnley for around 17,000,000 euros fixed and another 5,000,000 through potential bonuses related to individual performance and team results. It is clear that, if the bonuses are realized, Trafford will become the most expensive paid footballer in the history of Burnley, and he has already become the net keeper that City has paid for the most.##NAJAVA_MECA_7377647##The English champions inserted two important clauses into the contract. According to the first, they retained the right to 20 percent of the money from the next sale. According to the provisions of the second, City have the right to bring Trafford back, and according to Fabrizio Romano’s unofficial information, the Sky Blues will be able to do so only if they offer three times the amount that Burnley paid him for the talented goalkeeper. So, it could go to 66,000,000.If you missed this year’s European Under-21 Championship, you should know that Trafford earned the title of England’s hero. In the last seconds of the final, he saved a penalty against Spain and saved the England young national team’s lead of 1-0, thus also the title of European champion.He never made an appearance under Pep Guardiola, but last season he shone in League One, the third tier of English football, as a member of Bolton Wanderers. He played 52 games in all competitions, managed to keep a clean sheet in half, and conceded far less than a goal per match. His net only shook on 38 occasions.Our new number 1️⃣ pic.twitter.com/Vl3weI8TLc— Burnley FC (@BurnleyOfficial) July 20, 2023 Trafford is Burnley’s fifth signing this summer.
