So have we signed Otamendi?
Not officially, no but Otamendi should be a Man United player soon as long as the deal doesn't fall through, which could still happen seeing as the club is reluctant to pay his release clause
The deal should have been done quite awhile ago but the club kind of stalled on Otamendi when we found out about Ramos' situation at Real Madrid and pursued him for a short while
Ramos appears certain to stay at Real Madrid, they aren't prepared to let their new captain go anytime soon and so we've revived interest in Otamendi
Latest reports are Otamendi is prepared to take a pay cut in his contract with the club to push the transfer through seeing as it's likely the club will have to match Valencia's demand of €50m/£35m
Fully expect this deal to go through, as much as the club doesn't want to pay the full amount Valencia are asking, there aren't many other quality defenders available on the market so we'll have to pay up
