Ortega disappointed by Ederson's retention as first choice goalkeeper at Man City

With Ederson potentially leaving Etihad Stadium for the Saudi Pro League, Ortega, at 31 years old, was eager to step up as the main goalkeeper for the team.

However, Ederson chose to remain, relegating Ortega to the bench and restricting his playtime to cup matches.

Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk has indicated that Ortega is disheartened by the turn of events.

He is eager for consistent playtime to bolster his chances of being called up to the German national team.

The shot stopper will be considering his future in January, unless there is a reassurance from the club that he will be the no.1 in 2025/2026.
