Otávio leaves Al Nassr after two years and moves to league rival Al Qadsiah within Saudi Arabia. He was previously a 60-million signing from FC Porto. At Al Qadsiah, he is expected to replace Cameron Puertas (27), who was loaned to Werder Bremen. Otávio is reportedly signing a two-year contract with an option for a third season.

Al Qadisiyah, a club from Saudi Arabia, has shown interest in acquiring Otávio from Al Nassr. The interest from Al Qadisiyah comes as Otávio has been left out of Al Nassr's pre-season plans by coach Jorge Jesus. With a contract at Al Nassr until June 2026, Otávio's potential move involves significant financial considerations, as terminating his contract would require a payment of around 15 million euros. Al Nassr is considering using Otávio as a bargaining chip to secure new players for the upcoming season.
