Manchester City confirmed their third purchase this Thursday of the club's summer in 2015. The Argentine center-back Nicolas Otamendi has been bought from Valencia. Otamendi is a name that have been seen and heard all summer during the silly-season soap opera. Now it turns out that Otamendi instead choose light blue before red and thus he becomes a Manchester City player.
During the last season Manuel Pellegrini and Manchester City had big problems at back. The fans shouted for reinforcements, preferably at fullback as Kolarov and Sagna aren't youngsters anymore.
The executives negotiated a good deal and the other clubs that were interested Otamendi were set aside. Otamendi choose Manchester City and the expected transfer feet is 28.5 million pounds.
Otamendi was named one of La liga`s best central defenders last season. Manuel Pellegrini says he was the number one defender in La Liga last year. Nicolas Otamendi, who was born February 12, 1988 in Buenos Aires has previously played for Porto, which may be considered to be the club where he blossomed into a world class player.
With the purchase of Otamendi the competition gets significantly tougher for Manchester City's defenders. The club is currently sitting on Kompany, Mangala, Demichelis, Otamendi, and Denayer. Rumors say that Denayer is set to be loaned out, or, as it has been speculated in the media today, that Demichelis would move back to Argentina.
