The millionaire vice president referred to the possibility of incorporating the experienced defender of the Argentine National Team after the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Nicholas Otamendi never crossed the red band River nor did he receive the warm ovation from the Monumental Stadium. He debuted a decade and a half ago in Velezbefore making the big leap to Europe, and was measured on several occasions against Millionairethe club of which he is a confessed fan and the one who now has him in his sights to reinforce the defense of Marcelo Gallardo.
It’s been a while since the experienced leader of the Argentine National Team has been winking at the team as a whole Doll. At the beginning of this 2022, when he got off the plane in Ezeiza to compete in the South American Qualifiers, his suitcase aroused everyone’s attention: a sticker of the famous “December 9”the date on which those led by the Muñeco beat Boca in Madrid and won the Copa Libertadores.
A couple of weeks later, the central defender shared an image of his thermos in which a sticker of River’s historic shield designed by Caloi in 1984 stands out. And that was not all: she set it to music with a popular Bud Bunny theme that says “If you call me, I’ll fly to you.”
Although these gestures are now news again, Otamendi had closed the doors to the Millionaire in February 2020: “I’m a River fan, but today my head is in Manchester City”. The seasons passed, the member of the “old guard” of the Albiceleste is already far from the Premier League and, at 34 years old, He would not look badly on leaving Benfica in Portugal to play for the club of his loves.

Currently, in the midst of rumors linking him to the Núñez institution, the vice president Matthias Patanian He referred to the possibility of it being a reinforcement and indicated when his arrival could take place: “We will try to go for excellence, if after the World Cup there is a chance for Otamendi, we will be on top of that and River will open its doors”.
Finally, on Radio Continental, Jorge Brito’s right-hand man also gave his opinion on the future of Doll in the corral: “We have a horizon and Marcelo is the driver, he is a legend of River and Argentine soccer. Our answer about his future is always the same, it’s a personal decision. If he were up to us, we want him three more years.”
