Overview
- Forest confirmed Ortega’s move from Manchester City, ending his three-and-a-half-year spell in which he made 56 appearances and won multiple trophies.
- The agreement is reported as a short-term contract through the end of the season, with the fee understood to be up to £500,000 based on clauses.
- Ortega is expected to serve as deputy to Matz Sels after Forest accelerated their search when John Victor was ruled out for the season.
- His exit follows City’s 2025 goalkeeping overhaul, with Gianluigi Donnarumma and James Trafford ahead of him and Marcus Bettinelli also added to the group.
- Registration was not expected in time for him to feature against Crystal Palace on Sunday, with formalities completed near the window deadline.
