Manchester City have officially announced the signing of goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno on a three-year deal.
Ortega was free to leave Arminia Bielefeld this summer due to his contract expiring, and the 29-year-old has decided to venture out of Germany after spending his whole career in his home country.
Manchester City have officially announced the signing of Ortega on a three-year deal, with the German goalkeeper looking to provide competition for Ederson next season.
Ortega made a total of 220 appearances during his time at Arminia Bielefeld, so signing a player with his experience could be valuable in providing more competition for Ederson.
The current backup goalkeeper, Zack Steffen, has only played a limited amount in top-flight football, so this could prompt question marks over his future at the club.
At 27 years old, Steffen has failed to become number one at Manchester City, so a move away from the club may be best for his development.
Scott Carson recently signed a new deal at the club, meaning Manchester City now have four senior goalkeepers, so it seems the sensible option for Steffen to take the next step in his career.
Manchester forever
