Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega could be on his way out this summer as interest in his services intensifies from both the Premier League and abroad.
According to Transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg, he revealed via his official X handle that three unnamed English clubs are actively pursuing the 32-year-old, while Turkish side Fenerbahce have opened concrete discussions over a potential deal.
Plettenberg shared:
Softfootball understands that a proposed move to Burnley appears to have collapsed, but Ortega's chances of leaving the Etihad are growing stronger.
Ortega, who joined City from Arminia Bielefeld in 2022, has mostly played second fiddle to Ederson. Despite a few standout performances in domestic cup competitions and occasional Premier League appearances, he hasn't cemented a consistent role in Pep Guardiola's starting XI.
The arrival of James Trafford, who returns to City from Burnley in a 27 million deal , has only added further competition to the goalkeeper ranks. With Ederson staying put and Trafford set to challenge for minutes, Ortega's pathway to regular game time seems more restricted than ever.
With less than a year left on his contract, City may be open to letting him go at a reasonable price. The German shot-stopper, now in the latter stages of his career, is eager to find a club where he can play week in, week out something City may no longer be able to offer.
Fenerbahce's interest could give Ortega a fresh start as a first-choice keeper in Europe, but competition from Premier League sides remains strong. A transfer decision is expected soon, with Ortega evaluating options that guarantee playing time and stability heading into the new season.
