Bavaria continues to look for a replacement for the injured Manuel Neuer and the departed Jan Sommer. It is reported that the Munich club began to contact with Stefan Ortegaplaying for Manchester City.
At the same time, the head coach of the Citizens, the ex-coach of Bayern Josep Guardiola, is pleased with the game of the German goalkeeper and, according to rumors, the club is going to offer Ederson’s understudy a new contract ahead of schedule.
We will remind, earlier it became known that the 37-year-old Neuer remains out of the game at least until 2024. In addition, the German champion has already managed to sell Jan Sommer to Inter, who successfully replaced Manuel in the short run.
Ortega, 30, a German of Spanish descent, made a name for himself playing for Arminia in the Bundesliga. Last summer, he moved to Manchester City, where he became an understudy for the Brazilian Ederson. Stefan played 15 matches for Citizens (mostly cup games, including the recent match for the FA Super Cup against Arsenal), he did not concede goals in nine of them.
Bayern won the German championship for the 11th time in a row in 2023, and the new season began with a big defeat against Leipzig in the German Super Cup match. In the 1st round of the Bundesliga on August 18, Munich will play away against Werder Bremen.
