The 2026 transfer market is already generating anticipation in Argentine soccer, and in Núñez there is a name that sparks special excitement: Nicolás Otamendi. According to journalist Leo Paradizo on ESPN, the defender of the Argentina National Team has reportedly made the decision to join River once the 2026 World Cup ends, thus fulfilling a long-held personal wish.
According to the information released, "someone very close to the player" confirmed that the defender has already communicated his intention to return to the club if the management gives its approval. The possibility is exciting both symbolically and athletically. Otamendi keeps a competitive level in Europe and is considered one of the most solid and respected pillars of the Scaloneta.
