Stefan Ortega has signed a one-year contract extension with Manchester City to keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2026 and has suggested he could agree a further deal after that.

The goalkeeper, who had hinted he would consider leaving the Premier League champions in search of regular football, has instead agreed to stay after playing a crucial role in helping City win the title – and has set himself the target of becoming the first-choice goalkeeper.
