“Argentine central Nicolás Otamendi to leave Benfica as free agent in June”

This will be Nicolás Otamendi’s last season at Benfica. Who guarantees it is the Argentine journalist César Luis Merlo, adding that it is “90 percent certain” that the center will not accept the proposal to renew the eagles, which could be two or three years, and leave Luz after three seasons as a free agent. The 35-year-old world champion wants now, as Record did it, listen to proposals from European teams that strive for high goals. That is, despite the insistence, the will is not to join River Plate immediately, returning to the home country. Otamendi did not inform Benfica of his final decision. The captain of the eagles will miss the trip to Portimão as he will be suspended.

At the service of the reds, the Argentine international has 125 official matches and three goals since 2020, when he left Manchester City to go to Luz.
