Zack Steffen has had a torrid time in the Premier League. Being the second choice at Manchester City would seem like a great job for most keepers, but not Steffen. The American shot-stopper made a measly nine appearances in all competitions last season.

The lack of appearances seeped into his form as well, as Steffen was uncharacteristically making more errors than usual. Things weren’t any different for the USMNT as he couldn’t perform at a similar level as he used to do.

With the World Cup in Qatar merely months away, Steffen doesn’t have a lot of time to get his number one spot back in the USMNT. Goalkeepers Matt Turner and Ethan Horvath can overtake him in the race, with young prodigy Gabriel Slonina having a chance to do so as well.

Zack Steffen is looking for a loan move

As a result, it’s not a secret that Steffen is looking for a new club, and it shouldn’t be hard for him to find a club where he can get more minutes. Roger Gonzalez from CBS reported on the news and revealed that Steffen will indeed leave Manchester City on loan and that talks are underway.

It is yet to be seen if Zack Steffen would remain in England or whether he would have to find a new club somewhere else. City would reportedly send the 27-year-old keeper out on loan if they can find a suitable club with an obligation to buy.

Manchester City have already lined up a replacement

The Premier League champions have planned their goalkeeping situation out perfectly. They have lined up a move for Arminia Bielefeld keeper Stefan Ortega. Ortega’s contract with the Bundesliga club is running out in a few days and he would join City if Steffen leaves the club.
