Otávio Monteiro released by Al-Qadsiah, free agent this summer | OneFootball

Otávio Monteiro will leave Al-Qadsiah at the end of the current season. The Portuguese international midfielder, 31, is not part of coach Brendan Rodgers’ plans – according to the newspaper Al-Riyadiyah, the manager was not convinced by the player’s performances and prefers to free up the foreign player slot to strengthen the squad of the current 4th place team in the Saudi League.

Although he still has two years left on his contract, Otávio is expected to leave the club. This season, he has provided two assists in 11 games, after being sidelined for about six weeks due to a muscle injury.

It should be remembered that the footballer has been in Saudi Arabia since 2023/24, when he left FC Porto for Al-Nassr. While playing for the Riyadh club, he made 84 appearances, scored 12 goals, and recorded 15 assists.
