Stefan Ortega is facing a decision on his Manchester City future as his contract has just one year left. The 31-year-old goalkeeper has been getting more playing time due to an injury to Ederson, but questions remain about his long-term role at the club. Despite being settled in Manchester, Ortega’s upcoming family situation, with a second child on the way, will play a significant role in his decision-making process.

Ortega emphasized that his decision will not just be his own, but will also involve his wife as they navigate their growing family. While the goalkeeper is content at Manchester City, reports suggest there are differences in the financial terms and length of a potential contract extension. Ortega is hoping to secure a starting role at a high-level club, which may not be possible at City, leading to speculation about his future plans.

Although Ortega has purchased property in Hamburg, it is seen as more of a family investment than an indicator of his career intentions. With a Premier League showdown against Crystal Palace coming up, Ortega is focused on helping City remain in the title hunt while contemplating his future in the team.
