Manchester City is considering potential changes in their goalkeeping position, with uncertainty surrounding the future of Stefan Ortega Moreno as his contract nears its end. Ortega, currently the second choice goalkeeper, is seeking more consistent playing time despite increased opportunities in high-profile fixtures due to Ederson’s fitness issues. Manchester City is exploring contingency plans, including interest in Lazio’s Christos Mandas.

Ortega’s agent, Diego Tavano, confirmed that the goalkeeper has attracted interest from abroad, indicating a potential move away from Manchester City. While there have been reports linking Ortega with other clubs in the past, there has been no concrete evidence of a transfer. Ortega remains calm about his future and will make a decision in conjunction with his family before discussing it with Manchester City at the end of the season.

In the past, Ortega has been linked with Bayern Munich and Nottingham Forest, but his immediate focus is on determining his next career move. Manchester City, on the other hand, may need to consider securing a new goalkeeper should Ortega decide to leave the club. The situation remains fluid as the summer transfer window approaches.
