The farewells to Benfica have already taken place, but Nicolás Otamendi is still in Lisbon and made sure to attend Bad Bunny’s show, which has brought thousands of fans and well-known faces to the Estádio da Luz, a venue the centre-back knows well. The Argentine watched the Puerto Rican artist’s first concert from a VIP box.

The post was shared by Pedro Cardoso, linked to the well-known restaurant ‘Solar dos Presuntos’, on social media. Otamendi remains focused on reaching the 2026 World Cup in the best physical condition possible, which is why he is still training at Benfica’s facilities in Seixal, before joining up with the Argentine national team.

Despite being 38 years old, ‘El General’s’ physical condition continues to impress, and he does not want to lose momentum at such an important time as the World Cup. The centre-back was recently seen giving it his all in the gym usually used by the first-team squad players.

At the same time as he looks to be in the best physical condition to help his national team, the defender is also trying to speed up his move to another country. Everything indicates that Otamendi’s future should lie with River Plate, although Glorioso 1904 reported in recent days on a possible offer submitted by Benfica.

Nicolás Otamendi says goodbye to Benfica having won four titles: one league title, one League Cup, and two Cândido de Oliveira Super Cups.
