Valencia is reportedly open to the idea of reuniting with Nicolás Otamendi, who had an impressive stint at the club before transferring to Manchester City in 2015. The Argentine defender, currently a pivotal figure at Benfica, is said to be contemplating a departure from the Portuguese club, despite their desire to extend his contract. Otamendi, having recently added the Copa de la Liga title with Benfica to his extensive list of achievements, is assessing his options for the upcoming phase of his career. In addition to Valencia, Villarreal and Sevilla are also expressing interest in acquiring the veteran central defender, who, despite nearing his 37th birthday, continues to deliver high-level performances.
