The German has been enjoying playing regular football again while City's No. 1 Ederson recovers from an injury sustained against Liverpool last month. However, he remains clearly the team's second-choice 'keeper and will have to decide whether he prioritises playing regularly or winning trophies.
Ortega, 31, joined City in 2022 from Arminia Bielefeld, who had just been relegated from the Bundesliga. He has made 27 appearances in all competitions in nearly two seasons with Pep Guardiola's side and is the first choice in FA Cup and Carabao Cup matches. However, when Ederson is available he knows he has little chance of playing in the Premier League or Champions League, which poses him somewhat of a transfer dilemma.
"I’m not in the beginning of the 20s so I have to choose wisely now what I’m doing in summer," Ortega told reporters. "It’s not that I have to push the club that they will sell me, it’s just like see what happens. I’m relaxed because there are worse places than here. At the end it’s not my single decision, my Mrs is there as well, we’re expecting the second child."
