Careful, Benfica! More clubs join race for José Mourinho regular | OneFootball

The chances of Nicolás Otamendi staying at Benfica have been decreasing day by day. At a time when negotiations with River Plate are said to be at an advanced stage, other sources report that the Club of Light’s captain has received more offers, showing that the Argentine side is not alone in the race for the number 30 shirt.

In recent hours, TyC Sports, one of Argentina’s leading media outlets, has stated that the experienced 38-year-old defender currently has three proposals on the table. According to the same source, the 38-year-old centre-back has offers to remain in European football next season.

According to the TV channel, besides River Plate, which is determined to secure Otamendi’s signing, the Argentine also has a renewal offer from Benfica, as well as an invitation to move to Saudi Arabia, and another from Valencia, the La Liga side where the centre-back has already played.

Entering the final months of his contract with Benfica, Otamendi will have to make a decision in the coming weeks. However, as several sources have reported, the Argentine’s choice will take his family’s well-being heavily into account, one of the player’s top priorities. At the moment, River Plate appears to be in pole position.

This season, playing for Benfica, Nicolás Otamendi — valued at €1 million — has already made 48 appearances: 29 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. .
