As the summer transfer window approaches, there has been much speculation about the future of Argentine defender Nicolás Otamendi. The news that he could be moving on from Manchester City is likely to have a significant impact on his career and that of Benfica.

Otamendi has been with Manchester City since 2015, but his contract expires at the end of the season. He has been linked with several clubs over the past few months, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich,Ligue 1 Express among others. However, it seems that Benfica is one of the teams that is most interested in signing him.

Benfica is currently in the middle of their pre-season preparations for next season, and they will need to strengthen their defence if they want to compete in Europe. Otamendi would provide them with an experienced and reliable defender who can help them to improve defensively.

However, it remains to be seen whether Benfica will be able to convince Manchester City to let go of Otamendi. The club is known for its strong stance on transfers and may not be willing to sell him without getting a good deal.

In conclusion, the recent developments in Nicolás Otamendi's transfer saga to Benfica suggest that he is very much wanted by the Portuguese side. Whether or not he ends up joining them remains to be seen, but one thing is certain - the transfer market is always full of surprises.
