Otamendi To Play Against Monaco If Negotiations Stretch Beyond Tuesday

Valencia defender Nicolas Otamendi will play in the Champions League playoff round against Monaco if his future is not resolved by Tuesday, according to Superdeporte.

Otamendi will keep training normally with Los Che and will feature in the Champions League if negotiations for his transfer are not concluded ahead of the crucial playoff round tie on Wednesday.

The Argentine, who is currently in pre-season training with the Mestalla outfit, has been heavily linked with a move away from Valencia with Premier League clubs Manchester City and Manchester United hot on the centre-back’s heels throughout the summer.
