Premier League
Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Stefan Ortega to strengthen its goal for the next season, as reported by Todo Fichajes. With the possible departure of Jan Oblak, the colchonero sports management is looking for a goalkeeper who can compete for the starting position, and the German, who has taken a back seat at Manchester City, emerges as a viable option. His situation at the English club, where he has had little prominence, has led him to consider a change of scenery.
The Madrid club, which already found one of its current stars at City with the signing of Julián Álvarez, is looking back at Pep Guardiola's squad for reinforcements. Ederson's departure could pave the way for Ortega at the English team, but the club's intention is to bring in another goalkeeper of higher hierarchy. This leaves the German goalkeeper needing to find a destination where he can get more playing time, and Atlético would offer him that opportunity if Oblak's departure materializes.
Atlético de Madrid has Stefan Ortega on its radar
Bayern Munich has also shown interest in Ortega, but the possibility of being a substitute once again is not appealing to him. In contrast, Atlético would guarantee him the chance to compete for the starting position, something crucial for his future.
Ortega is under contract until 2026 and has a renewal offer from City, but his intention is to find a team where he can play regularly. At the Metropolitano, his signing would be affordable and would fit the club's desired profile. Moreover, if Oblak ultimately moves to the Premier League, his arrival could be easily finalized. We will need to keep an eye on how the negotiations progress in the upcoming weeks.
