Eintracht Frankfurt has officially confirmed the acquisition of 20-year-old Brazilian centre-back Otávio from CF Estrela Amadora. The announcement was made on Tuesday, 28 July, marking a significant addition to the Bundesliga side.

Long-Term Commitment

Otávio has signed a long-term contract with Eintracht Frankfurt that will keep him at the club until June 2031. The young defender is set to undergo medical examinations in Frankfurt before joining the team at their training camp in Grassau. He will don the number five jersey for the upcoming 2026-27 season.

Key Contributions

Last season, Otávio played a crucial role in helping CF Estrela Amadora maintain their position in the Portuguese topflight, making 22 appearances for the first team. His left-footed playing style, combined with his height, athleticism, and speed, has drawn praise from the club's sporting director, Timmo Hardung. Hardung expressed confidence in Otávio's potential, stating, “With Otávio, we are bringing in a young, highly talented central defender with a lot of potential for development.”

Eintracht Frankfurt looks forward to the contributions Otávio will make as they aim to strengthen their defensive lineup in the coming seasons.
