Club with two Champions League titles to loan player to Sporting for €3m | OneFootball

Jota Silva is getting closer to becoming a reinforcement for Sporting, after several weeks of negotiations. The talks between the Lions and Nottingham Forest have significantly increased, and there is great optimism on the Lions' side regarding a positive outcome.

According to zerozero, the latest proposal from the Alvalade Club for the 'number 20', who plays for the club that has won two Champions Leagues, includes a fee of around three million euros for the loan until June 2026 and a purchase option of 15 million at the end of it.

In the initial negotiation phase, Evangelos Marinakis wanted the definitive sale of Jota Silva's pass, but after reflection, he believed that this scenario would not be fair for an athlete who had few opportunities as a starter in the Nottingham Forest team and who has not been among Nuno Espírito Santo's recent choices.

Despite also attracting interest from Leeds, the Portuguese international believes that the move to Sporting will be more advantageous for his career, considering that the Lions will fight for the championship and have secured participation in the main phase of the Champions League. The forward can draw attention and be an option for Roberto Martínez for the 2026 World Cup.

Jota Silva – valued at 15 million euros – participated in 37 matches for Nottingham Forest last season: 31 in the Premier League, five in the FA Cup, and one in the English League Cup. Rarely a starting option in England, the winger scored four goals and made two assists. The player was a substitute used in the first round of this season's Premier League.
