Stefan Ortega Transfer from Manchester City to Leicester City

Stefan Ortega has been informed by Manchester City that he can leave the club this summer. This decision comes after the signing of James Trafford from FC Burnley for around 31 million euros, leaving no place for Ortega in the City team. Ortega, who is currently under contract until 2026, wants to be the first-choice goalkeeper at a club again. Leicester City, along with other Premier League clubs, has shown interest in Ortega.

Leicester are interested in signing Stefan Ortega, as reported by Ben Jacobs. The transfer is contingent on Mads Hermansen's potential departure. Ortega is expected to leave Man City due to the impending return of James Trafford from Burnley. Ortega has less than 12 months remaining on his contract, which could lead to a reduced price.

German goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, aged 32, is reportedly a target for Leicester City, a club that was recently relegated from the Premier League, according to 'Talksport'. Ortega, who has one year remaining on his contract with Manchester City, is looking to regain a position as a first-choice goalkeeper after serving as a backup for several years. Besides Leicester City, FC Burnley, newcomers to the Premier League, have also expressed interest in Ortega. With Manchester City potentially signing James Trafford from FC Burnley for €31 million, and ongoing speculation about Diogo Costa from FC Porto, Ortega's future at City appears uncertain. Concurrently, his teammate and competitor, Ederson, has been linked with a transfer to Galatasaray. Transfermarkt lists the player's current market value at €8.00m.
