Multiple reports suggest Leeds are *very close* to completing a deal, but nothing has been finalized yet. ([teamtalk.com](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/james-trafford-leeds-exit-clause-demand-truths-transfer-timeline-emerges?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere\u2019s where things stand:\n\n---\n\n**\ud83d\udd0d What the latest reports say**\n\n- Leeds are reportedly in advanced talks with Manchester City for Trafford, with the deal widely expected to be for a club-record fee (~\u00a340 million plus add-ons). ([leedsunited.news](https://www.leedsunited.news/transfers/leeds-united-set-to-break-nine-year-old-premier-league-record-with-james-trafford-signing/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Some sources suggest an agreed deal is imminent \u2014 possibly within 24 hours \u2014 though again, that depends on finalizing contract terms. ([teamtalk.com](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/james-trafford-leeds-exit-clause-demand-truths-transfer-timeline-emerges?utm_source=openai))  \n- Key things like a European release clause in Trafford\u2019s future contract have also been part of the discussion. ([teamtalk.com](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/james-trafford-leeds-exit-clause-demand-truths-transfer-timeline-emerges?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nSo, in short: Leeds and City appear to be heading toward a deal, but as of today (July 30, 2026), it has *not* been made official. Would you like me to check periodically and let you know once the signing is confirmed?"
