Nicolás Otamendi is considering retirement in emerging leagues like the MLS, which have shown interest.

The president of Benfica confirmed that Otamendi will remain at the club unless a team meets his release clause. No official offers have been made, contrary to media claims.

Nicolás Otamendi has expressed his desire to go to Paris for the Olympics, which could impact his availability for Benfica at the start of the season. He will also participate in the Copa América before the Olympics. Benfica has not yet made a decision on whether to allow Otamendi to participate in the Olympics.

Nicolas Otamendi is expected to receive clearance from Benfica for participation. The Argentine delegation is working with the English company for clearance, as was the case for the former Manchester City center.
