Stefan Ortega Moreno will provide back-up for Manchester City’s first-choice goalkeeper Ederson after signing a three-year deal.
Manchester City have made goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno their second signing of the transfer window.
The 29-year-old was a free agent after leaving Arminia Bielefeld and has signed a three-year deal with the Premier League champions in a move that is subject to international clearance.
Ortega Moreno will provide back-up for Ederson for Pep Guardiola’s side, with Zack Steffen set to join Championship side Middlesbrough on loan.
The arrival of German Ortega Moreno comes after City landed prolific Norway striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.
“This is a fantastic move for me,” Ortega Moreno told the club’s official website. “Manchester City are an amazing team – a squad with world-class quality in every area.
“To be given the chance to join this group of players and help continue the club’s success is a dream for me.
“I have enjoyed my time in Germany and I want to thank the Arminia Bielefeld fans for their support. But this new challenge of coming to City and playing in the Premier League is too good for me to ignore.
“I can’t wait to get started, meet my team-mates and begin working with Pep and his backroom staff.”
Meanwhile, City have allowed teenage defender CJ Egan-Riley to join Vincent Kompany’s Burnley on a four-year deal.
