Will Stefan Ortega (30) return to the Bundesliga?
The goalkeeper from Premier League top club Manchester City has come under the focus of FC Bayern Munich.
Background: The Munich team is still looking for a keeper for the upcoming Bundesliga season, which the champions will open against Werder Bremen on Friday at 8:30 p.m. in the north-south classic (DAZN/Sat.1). Bayern’s regular keeper Manuel Neuer (37) is still injured and will definitely miss the start of the season.
Will he soon have Ortega between the Bayern posts? According to BILD information, the ManCity keeper is the new top target for Munich. Sky had previously reported on Bayern’s interest.

Bayern in touch with Manchester City’s Stefan Ortega!
In the past few days, those responsible at Bayern had already contacted the goalkeeper. The former Bielefeld player still has a contract with the English champions until 2025, according to “transfermarkt.de” his current market value is nine million euros.
What fits: Bayern are looking for a goalkeeper who is stronger than the solid Sven Ulreich (35), but who will also be willing to take a seat on the substitutes’ bench if Neuer (comeback after a broken leg has been postponed again) gets really fit again. So Ortega could be the perfect candidate.
Ortega fills the role as reliable number two perfectly in Manchester. In the team of star coach Pep Guardiola he is the cup keeper – and he shines regularly. In 14 competitive games, Ortega kept nine clean sheets and conceded just seven goals in total. A great quote!
Does he now end Bayern’s previously difficult search for a goalkeeper? Review: Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga (28) was about to be loaned to Munich at the weekend. But rushed to Real Madrid at the last moment because Thibaut Courtois (31) tore his cruciate ligament. In addition, more and more alternatives such as Robert Sánchez (25/to Chelsea) and Gerónimo Rulli (31/Ajax/shoulder injury) are falling apart.

In addition to Ortega, ex-ManUnited star David de Gea (32, without a club) is also traded again with Bayern. According to BILD information, Bayern have now contacted the management again. But: The Spaniard will be expensive, Bayern have to plan with a salary of up to 20 million euros. Ortega would be the significantly cheaper option.
