MLS side Colorado Rapids is reportedly in talks with Manchester City about the acquisition of U.S. goalkeeper Zack Steffen. According to a report by The Athletic’s Tom Bogert, the negotiations between the two teams have been “complicated” but “progressing”.

Steffen is under contract with the Premier League side through the 2024-25 season. He is currently sidelined with a knee injury that required him to get surgery back in the summer.

Getting Steffen would be a big coup for Colorado Rapids. Despite his inability to get regular playing time with City, the 28-year-old would immediately become one of the best goalies in the MLS. The Rapids are in need of reliable goalkeeping, considering they conceded 54 goals in the 2023 regular season, one of the major reasons why they finished at the bottom of the Western Conference.

Zack Steffen played four seasons in MLS with Columbus Crew SC before securing a $7 million transfer to Manchester City in 2019. During his time with the club, Steffen made 21 appearances while also being sent out on season-long loans with Fortuna Dusseldorf and Middlesbrough.

Steffen previously served as the No.1 goalie for the United States men’s national team but recently lost his spot. He played only three international games in 2022 and wasn’t part of the roster that went to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Premier League giants Manchester City have rewarded the U.S. international goalkeeper Zack Steffen with a new contract. According to the club’s announcement on Thursday, Steffen inked an extension that will keep him at Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2025.

Steffen didn’t play much this season, being used mainly in the cup competitions and making just one Premier League appearance. Still, he was reliable when called upon, keeping two clean sheets and conceding just two goals.

Releasing a statement to confirm the news about Steffen’s new contract, Man City’s director of football Txiki Begiristain praised the USMNT’s goalie while calling him “a brilliant professional.”

“This is a man who trains to an exceptionally high standard every single day. He always wants to learn and improve,” Begiristain added. “Our coaching staff love having him here, and we want to see him continue his development over the next years.”

Zack Steffen joined Manchester City in 2019 in a $7 million transfer from the MLS side Columbus Crew. He spent the 2019-20 season in Bundesliga on loan with Fortuna Dusseldorf, where he impressed and convinced City’s coaching staff that he has what it takes to play at the highest level. The club recalled him for the 2020-21 season, and he has been serving as Premier League side’s primary backup ever since.

Steffen has made a total of 16 appearances in Manchester City’s jersey so far. He kept eight clean sheets while conceding only eight goals.
