Club career

Internacional

Born in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Otávio finished is development at Sport Club Internacional after joining the Porto Alegre club's academy at the age of 15. He made his Série A debut only two years later, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 home draw against Santos FC on 15 July.[1]

Otávio's first league goal arrived on 8 June 2013, when he started and helped to a 2–2 away draw to Cruzeiro Esporte Clube.[2] He added a further five during the season, in a 13th-place finish.

Otávio credited manager Dunga for helping him overcome his weight problems. During his spell at the Estádio Beira-Rio, he netted seven times in 62 competitive matches.[3]

Porto

On 1 September 2014, even though it was originally thought the transfer had cost €5 million, Otávio joined FC Porto as a free agent after Internacional ceded his federative rights, and signed a five-year contract with a €50 million buyout clause.[4][5] He was initially assigned to the reserve team, who competed in the Segunda Liga.[6]

In the last day of the 2015 January transfer window, Otávio, Ivo Rodrigues and Leocísio Sami were loaned to Vitória S.C. in the Primeira Liga.[7] He made his debut in the competition on 8 February by playing 30 minutes in a 0–1 home loss against C.F. Os Belenenses,[8] and scored his first goal in the last matchday of the campaign to help the visitors beat Académica de Coimbra 4–2.[9]

The deal was extended for the entire 2015–16.[10] He made his competitive debut for Porto on 12 August 2016, starting in the 3–1 away defeat of Rio Ave FC.[11][12]

Otávio won the Portuguese League at the end of his second season, contributing with two goals from 15 appearances to this feat.[13] He was sidelined for several weeks during the tournament, due to injury problems.[14][15]
