Liverpool initiate surprise talks for Man City star Liverpool have made their first move towards a deal for a Manchester City star. A surprise one, certainly. Goal report that Liverpool have expressed an interest in signing Manchester City's James Trafford.

The goalkeeper joined his boyhood club at the start of the season but things quickly turned sour. City ended the transfer window by signing Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian arrived as first-choice - a role that had been promised to Trafford.

And so Trafford now wants out as his move was supposed to make him the no. 1 goalkeeper at a top club. City will almost certainly allow him to leave for the right price.

But Liverpool's interest comes as a surprise. Trafford hasn't been linked with the club and they've got two elite goalkeepers in Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili. It seems that the Reds will shake up their goalkeeper options then and a move for Trafford is a very interesting one.
