Leeds United are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega during the upcoming summer transfer window. Ortega, who has been described as “incredible” by City manager Pep Guardiola, is entering the final year of his contract and may seek a move to secure regular first-team football. Leeds, having secured promotion back to the Premier League, are looking to strengthen their squad, and Ortega’s experience could provide valuable depth in goal. The potential appointment of Samir Arabi, who previously worked with Ortega at Arminia Bielefeld, as Leeds’ sporting director could facilitate this move.
In addition to Ortega, Leeds have shown interest in Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips. Phillips, a former Leeds player, has struggled for game time at City and during a loan spell at West Ham. Leeds have reportedly made contact with Phillips’ representatives about a potential return. However, his high wages and City’s preference for a permanent transfer could pose challenges.
Furthermore, Leeds are monitoring James McAtee, another Manchester City midfielder. McAtee, who had a successful loan spell at Sheffield United, could be available for another loan move. Leeds are keen to add creativity to their midfield, and McAtee’s availability aligns with their transfer strategy.
These potential signings indicate Leeds United’s proactive approach in the transfer market as they aim to build a competitive squad for their Premier League campaign.
