Amid rumors linking Nicolás Otamendi with a supposed move to River after the 2026 World Cup, José Mourinho, coach of Benfica, praised the Argentine, captain and key player of the team: «One thing is the real age and another is what we see on the field and, in my case, in training. There are 20-year-olds who are old players and there are 38 and 40-year-olds who are young. Nico (Otamendi) is young».

It should be mentioned that the defender's camp denied any connection with Marcelo Gallardo's team. Furthermore, the Argentine has a contract with the Eagles until the middle of next year, which he renewed in June.
