Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega expressed his desire to stay at the club beyond this season, despite being the second-choice stopper behind Ederson Moraes. Ortega has been filling in for the injured Ederson in recent fixtures, including a 3-3 draw against Real Madrid in the Champions League. His contract with Manchester City runs until 2025, and he feels comfortable at the club and in Manchester with his family.

Ortega emphasized that the decision about his future with the club is not solely up to him, but involves both the club and the player. He mentioned that staying at Manchester City, one of the biggest clubs in the world, holds significant appeal for him. The goalkeeper also revealed that he and his wife are expecting a second child, indicating that family considerations will play a role in his decision-making process.

The goalkeeper’s performances this season have been solid, with five clean sheets and 17 goals conceded from 15 games. Ortega’s statements to Sky Deutschland suggest his commitment to continuing at Manchester City, prompting the club to make a decision about his future involvement. It remains to be seen whether Ortega will be able to secure a more prominent role in the team or if he will continue serving as a reliable backup to Ederson.
