Manchester United have initiated contact with the representatives of Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega to explore a potential transfer. Ortega is reportedly open to discussing a deal, though no final decision has been reached. While no formal bid has been made, the Red Devils have inquired about his availability, contract status, and his willingness to move within Manchester. Ortega is said to be ready to leave Manchester City following their decision to sign James Trafford from Burnley. His Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) stands at €6.1 million, and he has one year remaining on his contract with Manchester City. The German goalkeeper, who appeared 21 times for City last season, is believed to want to leave in pursuit of more playing time. If the deal goes through, it will mark a unique move, as Manchester City have never directly sold a player to United. Manchester United view Ortega as a viable option who is both a potential upgrade and cost-effective.
