Man City look to bring in new goalkeeper on free transfer

Manchester City are looking to sign goalkeeper Stefan Ortega on a free transfer.

Ortega, 29, has been at Arminia Bielefield since 2017 and was their first choice last season during their relegation from the Bundesliga. With his contract up this summer, the German is exploring other options and open to a move to the Etihad.

City, meanwhile, are happy to bring in another keeper after loaning James Trafford out to Bolton and selling Gavin Bazunu to Southampton. Scott Carson has signed a new deal at the club, while there is no suggestion yet that Ortega coming in would mean Zack Steffen was leaving; Steffen has been Ederson's No.2 for the last two seasons and has primarily played in domestic cup competitions.
