Xabi Alonso Eyes Stefan Ortega
Specifically, he is looking for a new goalkeeper.
According to reports from the Sport Bild, the player in question is Stefan Ortega.
Manchester City’s goalkeeper who is currently 31 years old and is barely getting any opportunities under Pep Guardiola.
Renewed his contract last summer until June 30, 2026 and currently in the shadow of Brazilian Ederson.
The German goalkeeper has only been able to play 4 official matches this season (none in the Premier League) and would welcome the possibility of changing teams in January.
The Bundesliga champions intend to capitalize on this situation to secure his arrival. It’s a matter to keep an eye on.
