Overview
- Manchester City and Nottingham Forest announced the transfer on Feb. 1.
- Reports diverge on the contract length, with some stating a deal to the end of the season and others reporting a term through summer 2026.
- Transfermarkt reports City will receive a fee that could rise to about £500,000 with add-ons after earlier suggestions of a free transfer.
- Ortega joined City from Arminia Bielefeld in July 2022, made 56 competitive appearances, and won major honours including the treble.
- Forest’s goalkeeper picture has shifted after John Victor’s knee surgery, giving Ortega a clear opportunity to compete for the No. 1 spot.
