Otamendi pens new Man City deal. ManCity

Nicolas Otamendi has extended his contract at Manchester City by an extra two years, tying him to the club until 2022.

Manchester City have confirmed defender Nicolas Otamendi has signed a new deal, which will run until 2022. The Argentine has been a key figure at the heart of Pep Guardiola's defence for the runaway Premier League leaders.

Having made 118 appearances in all competitions for City since joining from Valencia for £33m on a five-year deal back in 2015, Otamendi has since become a fan favourite, and has been rewarded with another contract extension.

The 29-year-old said: "I’ve enjoyed my time at City since the first day I arrived and I’m really happy to have extended my stay here by a couple more years."

“My only aim is to help the team and give all I can for this Club. I am learning every day under Pep and enjoying my football and I feel I can still improve as a player."

“I’m a family man who enjoys being at home and I love living in Manchester, you sort of get hooked by it."

“It’s a very beautiful city and I’m very happy here.”
