Michael Zetterer was the ‘number one replacement option’ for City in case Ederson had left the club.

Manchester City are looking into the signing of Werder Bremen goalkeeper Michael Zetterer amid uncertainty over the futures of current stoppers Ederson and Stefan Ortega.

Manchester City is interested in Michael Zetterer as a potential replacement for Stefan Ortega, should the German of Spanish origins be promoted to replace Ederson, who is being courted by Arab clubs. The City could take advantage of the termination clause inserted in the Werder goalkeeper's contract when he renewed last May. This clause can be exercised only until mid-June. After this date, it will be necessary to negotiate with Werder Brema for the player's transfer.
