Nicolas Otamendi admits Sergio Aguero had a big say in his decision to join Manchester City.
Otamendi left Valencia for City this month.
He told ESPN: "I had an amazing season with Valencia and leave a great project that will carry on. We had a fantastic season and acknowledge that my leaving was complex.
"I accept the opinion of the fans. I am content in the knowledge that I gave my all and did what I love most, playing football. Afterwards, one has to make a decision, not just in footballing terms, but also on a personal level with family considerations.
"As hard as it is, it was always a boyhood dream of mine to play in the Premier League. A chance like this doesn't come around every day, so I had to grab it."
