Decision to join Bayern, up to Ortega. Bayern still wants to replace Sommer. Despite of very good performances of Ulreich.
Sport Bild’s Christian Falk confirmed the story as well with a tweet of his own as well:
TRUE✅ @FCBayern is Talking with Stefan #Ortega (first call Sky). The Club is also in contact again with the agents of David de Gea @BILD_Sport @altobelli13

Per Ransport journalist Martin Volkmar, Ortega wants the transfer:
Update Stefan #Ortega: Würde nach Informationen von @ransport gerne zu @FCBayern wechseln, weil er dort im Gegensatz zu #ManCity bis auf weiteres die Nr. 1 wäre. Allerdings blockt City, so lang sie keine neue Nummer 2 verpflichtet haben. Mehr Infos gleich https://t.co/hSpY8S9x8y

Update Stefan #Ortega: According to information from @ransport, he would like to switch to @FCBayern because, unlike in #ManCity he would be No. 1 there for the time being. However, City blocks a transfer as long as they have not signed a new number 2. More info soon.
As noted by Falk, Bayern Munich is also interested in David de Gea, but he might demand a bigger salary.
With just two weeks left in the transfer window, Bayern Munich will have to get moving on getting a deal done if it wants to bolster its goalkeeping depth.
