The Argentine defender, currently in Chile for the Copa America, insists his agent speaks on his behalf, having previously revealed that the centre-back wants to leave Valencia
Manchester United target Nicolas Otamendi has offered the strongest suggestion yet that he wants to leave Valencia this summer.
The Argentina international centre-back has long been linked with a big-money move, with Louis van Gaal one of his principle admirers as a deal for Borussia Dortmund's Mats Hummels looks increasingly unlikely.
The player's agent, Eugenio Lopez, said in May that the 27-year-old would do his utmost to engineer a departure from the Mestalla, and Otamendi himself has now lent support to Lopez's comments.
"I spoke at the time with who I had to talk to and Valencia know very well what I want," he told ESPN. "Each word that my representative says is with my authorisation.
"I had a chat with the president and he knows what my desire is and now I leave what has to happen in the hands of my agent."
Valencia president Amadeo Salvo has previously insisted that only a bid of at least £35 million would be enough to prise Otamendi away from the club.
The former Porto defender, currently on Copa America duty with Argentina, made 35 Liga appearances last season, scoring six goals.
