Stefan Ortega

Recent reports from January 2026 describe the player as a 'potentially cheap option' due to his contract expiring in the summer. Earlier, in September 2025, his market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €8 million. In July 2025, reports mentioned an Estimated Transfer Value of €6.1 million in the context of Manchester United's interest, while Fenerbahçe was reportedly ready to offer between €3 and €4 million. In April 2025, his value was estimated between €5 and €8 million amid interest from Bayer Leverkusen. He joined Manchester City from Arminia Bielefeld on a free transfer in July 2022.

Our valuation for Stefan Ortega Moreno is primarily driven by his contract status, which is reported to expire in June 2026. This makes him a low-cost option for a January transfer, as reflected in recent rumours. While previous reports from mid-2025 cited a market value of €8 million and a specific offer of €3-€4 million, his approaching free agency significantly lowers his current transfer fee. The range reflects a likely nominal fee for a player with only six months remaining on his contract.
