Jaissle's request to sign Otavio came after careful consideration of the team's needs, as the coach believes that a midfielder with such capabilities can provide Al-Ahli with the necessary balance and creativity in the midfield.

One of the main reasons for Al-Ahli's interest in the deal is that Otavio's market value may be suitable given Al-Nassr's desire to renew its midfield elements during this summer.

Otavio has significant on-field experience in the Saudi league, making him a ready option that does not require a long adjustment period to the team's environment and the local championship.

Otavio contributed to the creation of 16 goals over two seasons with Al-Nassr, which is the quality Jaissle is looking for to compensate for the departures of Firmino and Gabriel Vega, and to strengthen the attacking supply line with a player who possesses vision and intelligent passing.
