The man likely to be heading for the exit door is of course James Trafford. The goalkeeper only returned to the club 12 months ago, but could now be on his way to Newcastle United after watching his No.1 spot disappear to Gianluigi Donnarumma not long after rejoining Man City.<\/p>\n

The Magpies have reportedly rekindled their interest<\/a> in the shot-stopper and could finally get their man after initially working on a deal last summer, before he opted for an Etihad return.<\/p>\n

An exit will arguably be the right decision for all parties, but it does mean Man City will be forced into the market for a replacement in the coming months. And that’s where Sheffield Wednesday enter the frame.<\/p>\n
