Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah is making a bold move to sign Portuguese midfielder Otávio from rivals Al-Nassr, according to emerging transfer reports. The potential transfer comes amid significant changes at Al-Nassr, who are poised to officially appoint Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus as their new head coach.
The 30-year-old playmaker, who joined Al-Nassr from Porto in 2023, has made 57 league appearances over two seasons, contributing 11 goals and 10 assists. Despite these numbers, his performances have reportedly been inconsistent, potentially making him available as Jesus reshapes the squad for the upcoming league title challenge.
Al-Qadsiah, recently promoted to the Saudi top flight, appears determined to build a competitive squad capable of challenging established teams. Securing a high-profile player like Otávio would signal serious ambition from the Eastern Province club as they prepare for the new season. The summer transfer window is expected to see Al-Qadsiah actively strengthen their roster, particularly focusing on elevating the quality of their foreign signings.
No formal agreement between the clubs has been reported yet, but Al-Qadsiah’s interest highlights the dynamic nature of the ongoing Saudi Pro League transfer window.
