Otamendi has been a bit-part player for the Premier League champions this season and has already held discussions with Atletico director Andrea Berta over a move. With Claudio Ranieri set to leave at the end of the season, the Giallorossi have begun searching for a replacement. The Ligue 1 champions were interested in the Brazil international during the January transfer window, but were rebuffed by Napoli. The Premier League side could face competition from Rennes for the 19-year-old's signature. Pep Guardiola is so enamoured by the attacking midfielder that he might choose to sell Gabriel Jesus in the summer in order to facilitate the signing.
