One Man City star is being looked upon by German giants ahead of summer window. The player has already proved himself in Bundesliga before moving to Premier League in 2022. He is being made available by Sky Blues in summer window.
The star in question here is Stefan Ortega who joined City in summer 2022. He joined as a free agent and since then has served as back-up for Ederson. He has so far played 50 games for City and has played well on multiple occasions.
Man City to part ways with Stefan Ortega?
City are set for a major summer transfer window. Pep Guardiola wants to make some key changes and will part ways with many if current stars. Ortega along with others is linked with exit as the Sky Blues are keen to sign a new keeper.
Along with Ortega, the club’s first choice keeper Ederson is also set to depart. The Brazilian is looked upon by Saudi clubs. On the other hand, Ortega is looked upon by German giants as the player has already proved his worth in Germany.
Ortega wanted by Bayer Leverkusen
According to BILD, Bayer Leverkusen hold strong and long-term interest in Stefan Ortega. Xabi Alonso wants to improve his goalkeeping position and has identified Ortega as a perfect fit. City are set to demand around €8 million for the German keeper.
Leverkusen currently have Lukas Hradecky as the main keeper. He is doing a great job but is now 35 years old. On the other hand, Niklas Lomb and Matej Kovar have failed to impress Xabi Alonso. Hence, the German outfit may approach the summer market with new keeper as top priority.
Ortega used to play for Arminia Bielefeld before joining City. He has vast experience of playing in Germany. He can be tempted to return to his homeland and play regularly. Hence, convincing him will not be a tough task for Leverkusen.
