Paulo Fonseca denies Nicolas Otamendi to Monaco deal is done

Porto coach Paulo Fonseca has rubbished reports that Nicolas Otamendi is on the verge of a move to AS Monaco.

The two clubs were reported to have struck a £17.5m agreement for the 25-year-old Argentine, who is also believed to be of interest to Chelsea and Manchester City.

"On Otamendi there is nothing to report, except that I am counting on him and he is in the squad for our matches," talkSPORT quotes Fonseca as saying.

The centre-back arrived at Estadio do Dragao from Velez Sarsfield in 2010.
