Manchester City close in on the signing of free agent goalkeeper Stefan Ortega... and Pep Guardiola's side will allow No 2 Zack Steffen to leave in search of more game time

Manchester City are expected to sign free agent goalkeeper Stefan Ortega following a medical next week.

The 29-year-old, formerly of Arminia Bielefeld, is due to sign a three year contract while City will allow Zack Steffen to leave as the USA keeper wants more game time.

There have also been doubts about Steffen's future at City since his blunder contributed to a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final in April.
