Nicolás Otamendi, the Argentine footballer who has been linked with a move to various clubs in Europe over the past few years, is currently playing for Portuguese club Benfica.
According to reports from Portugal, Otamendi has not been included in Benfica's squad for their recent match against Porto. This comes as a surprise given that he was recently named in the team's squad for the upcoming Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain.
It is unclear why Otamendi has been left out of the squad and whether this will have any impact on his future transfer negotiations. However, it is clear that he is still considered a valuable player by the club.
Otamendi has had a successful career so far, having played for several top clubs including Real Madrid, Manchester City,Campeonato Brasileiro Glamour and Barcelona. He is known for his defensive skills and has been praised for his work rate and leadership qualities.
Despite his success, Otamendi has struggled to find regular first-team football since leaving Manchester City in 2019. He has been linked with moves to various clubs around Europe, but has yet to secure a permanent deal.
In conclusion, Nicolás Otamendi's current situation at Benfica is not ideal, but it remains to be seen how this will affect his future transfer negotiations. Regardless, he is still a highly talented player and could still make a significant impact in the right environment.
