Talks are underway between Nicolas Otamendi and CA River Plate (Arg) after an agreement was reached with CA River Plate (Arg). The defender is seen as a priority signing for the buying side, who are now focused on finalising personal terms as they look to strengthen their squad and kick-on. The player has not yet agreed a contract, but the move is progressing rapidly behind the scenes and is expected to be completed in the coming days. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Valencia decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. So far in this season, CA River Plate (Arg) are conceding 1.06 goals a game (18 in 17), more than they'd like compared to the Superliga standard. The hope is Nicolas Otamendi adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. There are currently no rumoured links for either Sl Benfica or CA River Plate (Arg).
