Pep Guardiola's Goalkeeper Decision at Manchester City

Manchester City's new signing, James Trafford, started his second Premier League game in a row against Tottenham, indicating he might be the new first-choice goalkeeper over Ederson.

Last week, Trafford kept a clean sheet in his debut game for City, securing a 4-0 victory against Wolves after joining from Burnley for £31 million.

Ederson, who has played 372 games for City over eight seasons, is rumored to be leaving as his contract expires soon. Guardiola's recent decision may signal the end of Ederson's time at the club.

Guardiola, unsure of his first-choice goalkeeper, mentioned that new players like Trafford bring fresh energy to the team.

Ederson missed the previous game due to illness, and reports suggest Galatasaray is interested in signing him. Since joining City from Benfica in 2017 for £35 million, Ederson has achieved 168 clean sheets and won numerous trophies.

Meanwhile, City is considering a move for Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain, who bid farewell to fans recently after being told to find a new club.

Donnarumma, a key player in PSG's past season, is also linked with Manchester United, who reportedly have agreed on terms with Senne Lammens from Antwerp.

Donnarumma, a strong contender for the Yashin Trophy, awarded to the best goalkeeper globally, is likely to leave PSG for a reduced fee given his desire to depart.
