Deal done! Sporting target who got away is off to Olympiakos | OneFootball

Jota Silva is very close to being officially announced as a new Olympiakos signing. The Portuguese winger, who last summer was just minutes away from joining Sporting, will continue his career in Greece on loan from Nottingham Forest.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the 26-year-old player is expected to travel to Athens this Tuesday, where he will undergo the usual medical examinations. If everything goes smoothly, he will sign a one-season contract with the Greek champions, on loan from the English club.

After a season below expectations at Besiktas, where he scored five goals in 22 matches, Jota Silva is set to change clubs once again. The deal is made easier by the fact that Olympiakos and Nottingham Forest are part of the same investment group, which made it possible to quickly find a solution for the Portuguese international.

Jota Silva’s name continues to be remembered at Alvalade because of how last summer’s transfer window ended. Sporting had the signing practically wrapped up, but the player’s registration was not submitted in time on the TMS platform, which is responsible for validating international transfers, causing the deal to collapse by just a few minutes.
