'Who wouldn't want to play there?' - Otamendi's agent talks up Real Madrid switch

The Argentine centre-back has been linked to a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the wake of reports that Pepe could be on his way to China

Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi's agent has hinted his client would jump at the opportunity to play for Real Madrid.

Argentina international Otamendi's stock is still high in Spain after an impressive season at Valencia in 2014-15 before he joined City for a reported £31.5 million.

The 29-year-old has not always convinced at the Etihad Stadium, however, as part of a City backline regularly lacking the calming presence of injury-prone captain Vincent Kompany, and his representative Martin Sendoa told Radio Continental that Otamendi would be interested in a move back to La Liga.
