Atlético and Milan Fight Over a Discard of Guardiola 462n4e

Stefan Ortega, habitual substitute for Ederson at Manchester City, has sparked the interest of two European giants: Atlético de Madrid and AC Milan. Both clubs see the German goalkeeper as a market opportunity to strengthen their goalkeeping this summer, taking advantage of his situation at the English club and the real possibility that Pep Guardiola will let him go for an accessible fee.

In Milan's case, the move is directly related to the possible departure of Mike Maignan, whose future remains uncertain due to the stagnation in his contract renewal. The Italian club, already considering alternatives, believes that Ortega could step in as the starting goalkeeper if the Frenchman eventually heads to the Premier League. Although not the first choice, his profile and cost make him a viable option.

Meanwhile, Atlético is also keeping a close eye. The red-and-white goal is under review, and the potential departure of one of their current goalkeepers has led the board to explore new options. Ortega, with experience at an elite club and an estimated price between 7 and 8 million euros, fits the criteria they are looking for: proven talent, reasonable cost, and a hunger for playing time.

The German goalkeeper has not hidden his desire for more prominence, and with Guardiola looking for a new goalkeeper if Ederson goes to Saudi Arabia, his situation at City could change drastically. Among the proposals he is considering, interest from Bayer Leverkusen also adds to the mix, setting the stage for an interesting battle for a player who, despite not being a regular starter, has demonstrated reliability whenever called upon.

The summer will decide Ortega's destination. Milan, Madrid, or a return to ?
