Ortega is out of contract at the end of the season. Bielefeld would like to keep the 29-year-old goalkeeper, but he is stalling on a new deal.
Should Ortega make the switch to Leverkusen, he would offer competition for their current first-choice goalkeeper, Lukas Hradecky, whose deal expires in 2023.
Bayern München are also said to be showing interest in Ortega, who joined Bielefeld from 1860 München in 2017.
