Stefan Ortega, a 32-year-old German goalkeeper, has declined an opportunity to transfer to Galatasaray, despite Manchester City's intention to sell him as their third-choice keeper. The club hoped to facilitate Ortega's move to Turkey, but he decided to stay at Manchester City for now. This choice occurs in a context where Galatasaray is actively working to enhance their team, yet Ortega chose to remain with the Premier League champions. His current contract extends until June 2026, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €8.00m. Additionally, Ortega has been associated with interest from other clubs, such as Borussia Mönchengladbach and LOSC Lille.
