Manchester City have strengthened their squad for next season after agreeing a contract extension with goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.

 

 

The German shot-stopper has been called upon more times this season than any other after first-choice Ederson suffered injury complaints. Ortega’s crowing performance came in the crucial victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the penultimate match of the season.

 

 

He was introduced in the second half after Ederson came off with a fractured eye socket and produced a marvellous performance, capped with a big save to deny Heung-Min Son, as City won 2-0. No surprise then that the Blues were keen to keep hold of him until 2026.

However, it is the comments from the director of football Txiki Begiristain which give a big hint on the future of Ortega’s teammate. “This is a crucial contract extension for Manchester City,” he said.

 

“Stefan is the best No.2 goalkeeper we’ve ever had, providing us with quality, stability and experience. He is such a talented ‘keeper – our goalkeeping coach Xabi Mancisidor tells me all the time how good Stefan is.

 

“He is very skilled and it’s clear that since his arrival here he has contributed significantly to our success. Hopefully he can now enjoy his summer and come back fresh and ready for the 2024/25 season.”
