According to Corriere dello Sport, Stefan Ortega is appreciated by Genoa's management. Ortega is a German of Spanish descent. He has not played at all this season for Manchester City under Guardiola and his contract expires on June 30.

CalcioMercato reports that Genoa has intensified its pursuit of Ortega following an unsuccessful bid for Bento. The club is now reportedly making a maximum effort for the German goalkeeper, who could leave Manchester City.

Genoa is considering Manchester City's Stefan Ortega as a goalkeeper option after negotiations for Bento were halted. The 33-year-old German is an option the club finds appealing, but the interest is not yet concrete. Ortega is currently one of several names being considered and has a contract that runs until June 2026.
