He made his debut in the competition on 8 February by playing 30 minutes in a 0–1 home loss against C.F. Os Belenenses, and scored his first goal in the last matchday of the campaign to help the visitors beat Académica de Coimbra 4–2.
The deal was extended for the entire 2015–16. He made his competitive debut for Porto on 12 August 2016, starting in the 3–1 away defeat of Rio Ave FC.
Otávio won the Portuguese League at the end of his second season, contributing with two goals from 15 appearances to this feat. He was sidelined for several weeks during the tournament, due to injury problems.
