Jota Silva is upset with Sporting and does not want to join the lions in the future. A one-minute delay in sending documents to Liga Portugal caused the forward's transfer to fall through, at a time when the Portuguese international was only thinking about Alvalade.
According to the newspaper A Bola, Jota Silva does not hide his sadness about the situation and has decided to "erase the lions from his mind". Thus, "Sporting is not in the forward's future plans", and he will also not continue at Nottingham Forest.
The winger reportedly turned down several offers in the summer - the most recent from Botafogo - as he only wanted to return to Portugal, represent Sporting and reunite with Rui Borges. However, the delay in documentation prevented Jota Silva from fulfilling his wish.
With Brazil crossed off the list of options and staying at Nottingham being "null", Jota Silva is looking for solutions for the future. Currently, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are the options on the table. It is certain that the attacker is not happy and will be forced to take a step back in his career.
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 the Premier League this season.
