"Celtic are interested in signing Stefan Ortega from Manchester City in 2026, according to Football Insider ."
"I think obviously it is an area of the team that the Celtic recruitment personnel are looking to strengthen the goalkeeping options. Ortega would be a good fit, you would think, especially if he does become a free agent in the summer. He's basically just fallen totally out of favour at Man City, with Gianluigi Donnarumma and James Trafford ahead of him, and Marcus Bettinelli has been travelling with the squad. If Celtic are looking a new goalkeeper come the summer when Schmeichel's contract is up, Ortega could be a really good pick up on a free transfer."
"He's got good experience he's played at the highest level for Manchester City as well. A very effective as a goalkeeper with the ball at his feet as well, so it could fit into the style of football that Wilfred Nancy will want to implement at Celtic."
Stefan Ortega is out of contract at Manchester City at the end of the season and is expected to leave on a free transfer next summer. Celtic are targeting their goalkeeping options and view Ortega as a viable addition if he becomes available. Ortega has fallen down the Manchester City pecking order behind Gianluigi Donnarumma and James Trafford, with Marcus Bettinelli also involved in matchday squads. Ortega brings high-level experience and strong ball-playing ability, attributes that match the intended style of play and could address the vacancy when Schmeichel's contract ends.
