According to Globo.com, Cruzeiro received inquiries about Otávio during the World Cup.

Globo.com reports that Otávio's prominence at Cruzeiro is rising, stating that he has gained more playing time after an injury to Cássio and poor performances by Matheus Cunha. The goalkeeper recently renewed his contract, and Cruzeiro will not open negotiations for less than 20 million euros, which is about R$ 117 million.

The Cruzeiro board expects to receive proposals from abroad for 20-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Otávio. The club's idea is to try to keep important players in the team. Otávio joined Cruzeiro in January 2025, has a contract until the end of 2028 and has been capped 3 times for the Brazil U20 national team. His current market value is €500k, according to Transfermarkt. Eintracht Frankfurt has previously been linked with the player.
