VfL Wolfsburg made an enquiry for Stefan Ortega, a German and Spanish goalkeeper whose contract with Nottingham Forest expires in the summer, at which point he will become a free agent. The 33-year-old has received numerous enquiries, some of which came from Saudi Arabia. Ortega declined the approach from the German club because he does not want to move to the 2. Bundesliga.
Although he was previously linked with Werder Bremen, there are currently no enquiries from the Bundesliga for the goalkeeper. Ortega joined Nottingham Forest from Manchester City in February 2026 for a fee reported to be up to €580,000, and he made 3 appearances in the Premier League in the 2025/2026 season. The uncapped German has a current market value of €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
