THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ortega is open to joining Bayern and has reportedly spoken to manager Thomas Tuchel. The German side are not thought to be close to agreeing terms with the 'keeper and have made neither a permanent nor loan offer to City.
AND WHAT'S MORE: Bayern are in the market for a new shot stopper after Yann Sommer left to join Inter and with Manuel Neuer still months away from returning from injury. Tuchel's side wanted Kepa Arrizabalaga but the Chelsea man opted to join Real Madrid on loan instead.
