UPDATE – New Development On Nicolas Otamendi To Manchester United News
Manchester United may soon lose out on the chance to sign Nicolas Otamendi if the reports that Real Madrid are set to table a bid for the high rated Argentine is anything to go by.
According to express, Real Madrid are ready to activate the release clause of the Colombian and should this be the case, Manchester United will only be left with two choices, also activate his release clause which is put at £35 million and hope the player chooses the red devils ahead of Real Madrid or lose out signing him altogether.
However, thinking of it critically and knowing how Real Madrid conduct their transfer businesses, it will not be too surprising if Real Madrid's bid is a way of forcing Manchester United to release David De Gea to them.
Or why will they be needing Otamendi when they already have Pepe who just signed a new contract, Sergio Ramos who is reportedly close to an agreement on a new deal and Varane who is seen as one for the future.
Otamendi had a very successful season with Valencia last season. Scoring six goals in key matches and helping the club qualify for the UEFA champions league. He averaged 12 defensive actions per game.
