Otamendi wants Valencia move after deciding to leave Man City

Nicolas Otamendi wants a summer transfer to Valencia after deciding to leave Manchester City, Goal understands.

Goal revealed in March that Otamendi, 31, was open to a transfer in search of more regular playing time.

Valencia, Wolves and the Chinese Super League had all been touted as possible destinations, but it is now believed that a return to Mestalla is the defender's number one choice.

But whether the Spanish side are able to make that wish come true depends on several factors, chief among them qualification for next season’s Champions League.
