Jota Silva is willing to take a pay cut to reunite with Rui Borges at Sporting and expedite the deal.
Jota Silva is willing to lower his salary to sign with Sporting. The Portuguese winger is a true ally of the Lions in negotiations with Nottingham Forest and has already informed both parties that he is willing to ease the details of his transfer to Alvalade.
According to information revealed by the newspaper Record, the negotiations are already in a final stage, and the player is pushing to ensure his return to Portugal, which may mean some cuts in his current salary - this after the forward has already been in contact with Rui Borges.
The same source also reports that, at this point, the conversations between Sporting's management and the player revolve around contractual details, with one of the points being the salary issue. Nevertheless, the Portuguese international has already made it clear that he is open to earning less at Alvalade than he does at Nottingham, with the aim of speeding up the process.
Furthermore, the Lions and tricky tees are still at an impasse: while Sporting aimed for a low-cost operation, with a loan and purchase option, Nottingham has always preferred a permanent sale - at least 50% of the player's rights.
Jota Silva – valued at 15 million euros – participated in 37 matches for Nottingham Forest: 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, in the 1,098 minutes he was on the field.
