Chelsea make shock move for another Manchester city star: Will Pep Guardiola approve his move?
Stefan Ortega joined Manchester City in the summer of 2022 on a free transfer following a protracted stay with German teams. But he lately gained attention due to his outstanding play this season when Ederson was out of the picture.
Under duress, Ortega displayed excellent talents and calm on the field. He demonstrated his ability to be a starting goalkeeper for a premier league team. In 20 appearances, he allowed just 20 goals while maintaining 8 clean sheets.
The German stopper can block strikes from a distance and at close range thanks to his strong hands and insane reflexes. The squad can create plays from the back since he is also at ease with the ball at his feet. It makes sense why there are numerous teams eager to sign him.
Will Chelsea make an official move?
Chelsea signed two goalkeepers in the form of Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic last summer while they loaned Kepa Arrizabalaga to Real Madrid. However, it seems like the new boss Enzo Maresca isn’t impressed with any of them and wants to bring in a new name.
The Blues are impressed with Stefan Ortega’s performances and are keen on making a move in the summer. From the player’s point of view, the 31-year-old has already expressed his will to be a first-choice goalkeeper. He even hinted at making a switch if needed.
