Manchester United are constantly in search of a top quality central defender and lately their main target is Argentine star Nicolas Otamendi.
Otamendi was one of the best center backs in the La Liga last season with Valencia and the Spanish club are making things little harder for Man United to secure his signature.
As published previously on the website, Daily Star suggested that Man United have agreed terms with Otamendi as well as the fee of $38million with Valencia for the transfer of former Porto star.
On the other hand, Metro claimed the same about agreement with the player but stated that the Spanish side will unlikely accept an offer that is below his release clause
The latest update is more or less the same but with a little twist. Nicolas Otamendi has told Valencia that he wants to sign for the Red Devils and has reached a verbal agreement with Manchester United.
However, as per the provided link in the para above, Valencia are not ready to negotiate on the price tag. United have made various offers to sign the strong central defender but in vain and now they will splash the cash to finally sign the star by meeting his mammoth release clause of $56 million.
Understandable why United are so keen to sign the defender as he is currently at the peak of his game and is exactly the kind of leader United need in their defense.
Otamendi should form an all Argentine central defense partnership with Marcos Rojo if he joins the Old Trafford Club.

wow,otamendi will be a very good addition for us,we need a player of such calibre,he very strong,sharp and quick.above all,we need a leader in that defensive line.
yes if we pull out this deal then united will be strong next season although we need about two or three defenders
no waste of time! bring him to Old Trafford.he is a fantastic player!
When Man U signed Otamendi Nicolas then Utd will be in all trophies title but Premier is a must taken to OT
If this article is really true then that will be a good news. It will be left with an additional rightback, a central midfielder & one quality striker, probably harry kane. I have a feeling shweingsteiger’s transfer will be possible. A few good youngsters here & there & we will be good to go.
I really hope this one goes through. That will still leave us needing a right back and a central holding midfielder. But I think we will need 2 new strikers, I can’t see Van Persie, Chicharito (shame), or Angelo Henrique staying and young Wilson is probably going out on loan. And of course we will need a new keeper.
Otamendi welcome, lvg make sure u get holding midfielder as well.
Otamendi wil be a great acquisition if the deal goes through. He’ll be a good addition to our defense, but another important areas are the defensive midfield and attack.
If United really want Otamendi the best way to accomplish the problem is for a strait swap with Mata.
Mata will be surplas and considering we have to many
Players who are slow. I think we can afford to lose him if we are getting Fsrmino and Gaitan
Please do anything possible to bring Otamendi and after that we bring in rightback, Firmino and a striker and also use Nani, Van persie and Chicarito must be sold to buy quality keeper and not Valdes.
