Liverpool and Newcastle United have reportedly been dealt a blow as Bayern Munich have joined the race to sign Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.
Burnley paid around £15m to sign Trafford from Manchester City during the 2023 summer transfer window.
This transfer came about after the 21-year-old shone for Bolton in League One and helped England s U21 side win the European Championships.
Trafford s form for Burnley suggested his debut season in the Premier League came too soon as he made 28 appearances but was usurped by Arijanet Muric during the run-in.
Despite this, Trafford has been included in Gareth Southgate s provisional 33-man England squad and he is a candidate to eventually replace Jordan Pickford as the No.1 for The Three Lions.
