Man City boss Guardiola tells Ortega: We need you

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is not eager to lose one of his first team goalkeepers.

The Citizens coach would demand a replacement for Stefan Ortega if he is sold or loaned out this summer.

Per German media reports, Bayern Munich are targeting Ortega for a short term deal.

"It would be a problem to lose him - first for the quality," said Guardiola to reporters on his no.2 keeper.

"When we bring him here because [goalkeeping coach] Xabi Mancisidor sent me clips and said he was a 'keeper we need.

"He played for a team relegated from the Bundesliga and from day one I said what a 'keeper we have. You know how many saves he makes in important games. We don't want to lose him.

"We need him but like in many cases it depends on three parts. If we lose Stefan two weeks out of the market [closing], we have to go to pick up a 'keeper and it's not easy now. It's not easy. We want him."
