Nicolás Otamendi has joined River Plate after his contract expired.

Benfica have already brought in Gabriel Índio, a 17-year-old Brazilian centre-back, and there is confidence in his potential.

Even so, the plan includes adding experience to balance a youthful defence, and the new signing could join the Benfica Campus in the coming days.

Preparations for the new season began early because of the Europa League qualifying schedule.
