Ederson transfer latest and Man City goalkeeper state of play after Stefan Ortega decision

Ortega has penned a one-year extension to his deal which keeps him at City until 2026. The 31-year-old had widely been expected to depart this summer having failed to usurp Ederson as Pep Guardiola’s first choice or break into the Germany squad.
