At a time when expectations about the movements of NEOM in the transfer market are increasing in preparation for its first season in the Saudi Roshen League, well -informed sources confirmed that there are no official negotiations between the newly rising club and Al -Nasr Club regarding the inclusion of Portuguese star Otavio Montero.
An official clarification closes the door of rumors
The Saudi newspaper “Al -Riyadiah” quoted its sources within Al -Nasr Club, that no official offer or direct letter from the NEOM club has been received to sign Utavio or any other player from the first team so far. The same sources indicated that talking about Newium’s interest in the Portuguese star does not exceed the monitoring stage, without taking any practical steps towards negotiation.
The sources said: «Victory did not receive any official request for Autavio, and what is said is only a media follow -up.”
Fighting movements from NEOM
After his historic rise to the Roshen League after crowning the “Yalu” league title, NEOM is setting up its eyes to support its squad with experience in the major championships, amid widespread public anticipation of its upcoming dealings. Despite the circulation of the name of Otavio among the candidates, the club did not translate its attention into concrete steps.
The NEOM administration seeks to leave a strong imprint in its first season by attracting prominent players from inside and outside the Saudi League, but it seems that the timing of the official move is not yet.
Utavio .. steadfastness in victory
On the other hand, Otavio has wide support from the fans of victory, and has been one of the pillars of the team since its transfer in the summer of 2023 from Portuguese for about 60 million euros, paid through the penalty clause. Since his arrival in Riyadh, the Portuguese player imposed himself as a decisive playmaker, and he was able to leave a clear imprint on the team’s performance.
During his first season with Al -Alamy, Otavio participated in 84 games in all championships, during which he scored 12 goals and made 16 others, to be among the most prominent artistic elements in the victory battalion.
His contributions last season
In the Saudi League, Otavio played 28 games out of 33, scored a single goal and made five assists, while he won three yellow cards. At the level of the King’s Cup, he participated in two encounters without registration or industry. In the AFC Champions League (the elite), it had a remarkable role in making three goals during eight games.
Despite all talk about possible offers, the indicators of the survival of Autavio remain strong, unless official offers appear open the door to new negotiations.
