Jesus sorts things out: ex-Benfica man shows Porto’s former pillar the door | OneFootball

Removed from the Al Nassr team when Jorge Jesus took over as the head coach of the Saudis, Otávio's journey at the club has finally come to an end. Today, the club where former Benfica forward João Félix plays, officially announced the departure of the Portuguese-Brazilian midfielder.

With the transfer market still open, even after it closed in Europe, Al Nassr informed its members and fans that the former Portuguese international was transferred to another club in the Saudi league, namely Al Qadisiyah, which had shown interest in signing Florentino, who ended up moving to Burnley.

On the other hand, the new club also announced the arrival of the former Porto player, eternal rival of Benfica. The player's departure follows his exclusion from Jorge Jesus's plans, who made a point of removing him from the squad when he took over as head coach.

It is worth recalling that with the arrival of the former reds and whites' helmsman, Al Nassr, determined to return to winning ways, made a significant investment in the current transfer market, securing the signings of notable names such as João Félix, Kingsley Coman, and Iñigo Martínez.

Otávio joined Al Nassr in the 2023/24 season from FC Porto, contributing with 12 goals and 15 assists in 84 games. With Jorge Jesus's arrival as the team's head coach, the midfielder ended up losing his place.
