Manchester City rejected several offers this summer for 32-year-old German goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, including bids from Sunderland, Fenerbahçe, and Burnley. The German was also considered a potential option for Trabzonspor, but that possibility closed. As a result, Ortega will stay at Manchester City at least until January, where he will now be the third-choice goalkeeper. His current contract runs until June 30, 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €8.00m.
