Nicolás Otamendi will be a Benfica player and will return to Portugal after wearing the FC Porto shirt in the first years of the last decade.
The Argentine defender was even designated to the dragons, but Pinto da Costa guaranteed that the blue and white structure never thought of a return. “Nobody spoke with Otamendi and nobody spoke with City. It was never an option, nor was it addressed. We saw it and laughed ”, he began to say in an interview with Porto Canal.
In his style, Pinto da Costa recalled that Otamendi was very happy at FC Porto and also at the house that will now be his. “Otamendi has a history at FC Porto, he is part of the group that won the Europa League, who bathed there in Luz when we were champions. He was one of the most celebrated and felt that victory, “he recalled.
The president of FC Porto also justified the sale of Fábio Silva and the transfer of Vitinha. The two players went to Wolverhampton, the first for 40 million euros and the second with a purchase option. “We gave up talented and future players, but they weren’t essential for the team’s success. They practically did not play and it is not because of their lack that it will affect us. What we received was enough to look for other players and partially compose our accounts, “he concluded.
