La Liga
About to turn 37, Nicolás Otamendi continues to show that he is a standout in European football. The Argentine defender, with an impressive track record that includes a World Cup and two Copa América titles, has just added another trophy to his collection: the League Cup with Benfica. Despite his age, his performance is impeccable, with one goal and four assists in 25 games this season, keeping him as a key piece of the Lisbon team.
Three Teams from La Liga Interested in Otamendi
However, his future at Benfica is uncertain. Although the Portuguese club aims to renew his contract, possibly with a salary reduction, Otamendi is considering other options for the next chapter of his career. Among the alternatives, two paths stand out: a final experience in La Liga or a retirement in emerging leagues like MLS or Saudi Arabia, both of which have shown interest in the center-back.
In Spain, three teams are reportedly considering adding the Argentine. As reported by EstadioDeportivo, Villarreal, known for integrating quality veterans like Raúl Albiol and Dani Parejo, sees Otamendi as an ideal option to strengthen their defense. Similarly, Valencia, where he shone before his move to Manchester City in 2015, is open to a reunion with the center-back. Lastly, Sevilla, aiming to renovate its defense after key departures, is also willing to join the bidding war for the Argentine.
