French media: Paris FC is interested in Porto defender Otavio, and the transfer fee will be much lower than 50 million euros

According to French media footmercato, Paris FC is interested in Porto defender Otavio.

Paris FC, which has been promoted to Ligue 1, has made frequent moves. After three signings have been finalized, the club is looking for a defender and has set its sights on Porto.

This summer will be very lively for Paris FC. After being promoted to Ligue 1, Paris FC has signed three players with a price of 18 million euros: Noah Sange (Lance), Moses Simon (Nante) and Tibolte Desemite (Lance). Paris FC does not intend to stop there, they still want Turin midfielder Siamalicera.

The plan to introduce a central defender has a long history, and Mbumba is one of the targets. In addition, Otavio, 23, is also a target for signings. The player has played for Flamengo and Famalikon. He joined in the winter window of 2024 for 12.3 million euros, aiming to fill the vacancy after Pepe left the team.

Otavio performed well in the early stages, but gradually lost his position this season and eventually became a substitute. What's worse is that in the recent Club World Cup, Otavio only played for 3 minutes. Otavio's contract lasts until June 2028, and such a small number of playing time may lead to his departure.

Although Otavio's termination fee is 50 million euros, Paris FC is well aware that the current competitive situation of the players will allow them to introduce them at a price far below this. It is reported that Paris FC is in talks with Otavio to complete the transfer this summer.
