Stefan Ortega Transfer from Manchester City to Celtic

According to Team Talk, Celtic are strongly considering acquiring Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. The goalkeeper has been linked with a temporary transfer to Glasgow, and a loan in January could allow Celtic to assess him without a long-term commitment. While a permanent move in the summer has been suggested, a loan is being considered as an upgrade that is considered necessary.

According to ExWHUemployee, via his Patreon, Celtic are one of the frontrunners to sign Man City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. The 33-year-old's contract expires at the end of the season, making him a potentially cheap option if Celtic can manage his £90,000-per-week wages. Celtic are firmly in the race for his signature.

According to The Athletic, Stefan Ortega is reportedly in exploratory talks with several clubs ahead of a January exit from Manchester City. Ortega has not been named in a matchday squad for City since August. He, Kalvin Phillips and Oscar Bobb are among those expected to leave as Guardiola seeks to make changes at City.

Celtic are interested in signing Stefan Ortega from Manchester City, whose contract expires next summer when he will be available as a free agent. Pep Guardiola wants the goalkeeper to leave the squad as quickly as possible, which could create an opportunity for Celtic in January. Celtic and Manchester City have had a relatively close relationship when it comes to making deals in recent years.

Stefan Ortega, who is described as an experienced goalkeeper and has won trophies at Manchester City, has been demoted to third choice following the arrivals of Gianluigi Donnarumma and James Trafford. Ortega will want to be playing first-team football. It is noted that a potential issue may be that Manchester City are reluctant to conduct business with Celtic after the club recalled Jahmai Simpson-Pusey due to his lack of football.

Celtic are reportedly considering a move for Manchester City's goalkeeper Stefan Ortega when his contract concludes at the end of the 2025-26 season. Ortega is expected to leave the club next summer as he is not part of Pep Guardiola's long-term plans. A report from Football Insider states that the Celtic hierarchy has identified Ortega as a potential signing, and the Glasgow club views him as a potential successor to Kasper Schmeichel.
