River Plate is the club he supports, but Nicolas Otamendi isn't ready to leave Manchester City until his contract runs out in 2022.

Otamendi's friend Martin Sendoa stoked the rumours of Otamendi joining River when he told TyC Sports (h/t Joe Bray of the Manchester Evening News):

"Nico's wish is to retire in River but he’s not going to interrupt the contract with the City. At 34 he could return to Argentina and close his career in the Millionaire, but we still had no contact and nobody spoke to us.
