Newly-promoted Paris FC are closing in on their third summer signing, with Porto defender Otávio (23) set to join the Ligue 1 side after reaching a full agreement with the club – according to a report from Foot Mercato. the Brazilian centre-back had emerged as a priority target for PFC, who had also considered Chancel Mbemba internally in recent weeks. Despite signing for Porto in January 2024 for €12.3m, Otávio, 23, saw his playing time dwindle during the second half of the season – most notably featuring for just four minutes at the Club World Cup.

Paris FC recently struck a deal with Porto worth €12m, pending the player’s approval. After a period of reflection, Otávio has now accepted the move, impressed by the club’s project and the chance to play a key role in Ligue 1 next season at Stade Jean-Bouin. He is expected to sign his contract in the coming days, becoming the capital club’s third summer arrival after Nhoa Sangui and Moses Simon.GFFN | George Boxall
