In a press conference, the goalkeeper of the Manchester City, Stefan Ortega, spoke about his future and did not guarantee his stay in the English team. With a contract valid until the end of the 25/26 season, the athlete claimed that he will think ‘wisely’ before deciding the next steps in his career.
“I’m not in my early 20s, so I have to choose wisely now what I do in the summer. It’s not that I have to put pressure on the club for them to sell me, it’s just seeing what happens. I’m calm because there are worse places than here”, said the 31-year-old player.
Ortega also pointed out that his choice is up to his wife, as they are expecting their second child. “At the end of the day, this is not just my decision, my wife also counts, we are expecting our second child.”

Since 2022 at City, after leaving Arminia Bielefeld (Germany), Stefan Ortega took over as starter after goalkeeper Ederson was injured in the match against Liverpoolat the beginning of March, at English Championship. The archer revealed that he doesn’t talk much to the Brazilian and doesn’t know when he will return.
“Honestly, I don’t know, we’re not talking much. I just try to focus on my performance now if I get the chance to play. I think he should be fine, but I don’t know exactly when he’ll be back. I’ve now played four big games in a row. I think I did well, I showed that everyone can trust me. I can only show my performance on the field and in training and in the end I don’t know what will happen, but it’s all about the team and if I have to return to the bank will be difficult for me, yes, but we have to support everyone”, he concluded.
Manchester City, third placed in the English Championship, returns to the pitch, this Saturday, to face Crystal Palace, at Selhurst Park, at 8:30 am (BrasĂlia time). The confrontation will be valid for the 32nd round of the national tournament.
