DAVID DE GEA has agreed to join Bayern Munich, according to reports.

However, his transfer to the club could fall through with the Germans prioritising Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.

But his move could fall through due to Bayern’s preference to sign Stefan Ortega

De Gea, 32, left Manchester United when his contract expired this summer after 12 years at Old Trafford.

Bayern are in the midst of a goalkeeper crisis – with Manuel Neuer still injured and Yann Sommer departing for Inter Milan.

As a result, manager Thomas Tuchel is desperate to land a new goalie.

De Gea and Ortega are reportedly on their list, according to Sky Sports writer Florian Plettenberg.

Additionally, after speaking with De Dea’s representatives, the Spaniard gave the go-ahead for Harry Kane to accompany him to Munich.

De Gea might have to continue looking for a new team, though, as Ortega is Bayern’s top choice.

Ortega, 30, has Bundesliga experience. Prior to Arminia Bielefeld’s relegation in 2021–2022, he made 67 appearances in the division.

Pep Guardiola is not keen on the idea of losing his No2 without finding a replacement.

Asked about the links, Guardiola said: “It’ll be a problem, for his quality.

“He’s played in the Bundesliga, I saw him and said, ‘What a keeper we have’.

“We don’t want to sell him, but like many cases, [it depends on] three parties…

“If Stefan has two weeks out of the market, we have to pick up a keeper, it’s not easy. We want him for years and years…”

German Ortega started the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal, while he was also an ever-present figure on City’s run to winning last season’s FA Cup.
