Sporting continues to try to negotiate the signing of Jota Silva, however, the process with Nottingham Forest has not been straightforward. Nevertheless, the Portuguese winger is doing everything he can to facilitate his transfer to Alvalade, including lowering his salary.
According to information revealed by Record newspaper, the negotiations are already in a final stage and the player is pushing to also ensure his return to Portugal, which may mean some cuts in his current salary - this after the attacker has already been in contact with Rui Borges.
The same source also states that, at this time, the talks between the SAD of Sporting about the player are related to contractual details, one of the points being the salary issue. Nevertheless, the Portuguese international has already made it clear that he is open to receiving less in Alvalade than what he earns in Nottingham, with the aim of speeding up the process.
Otherwise, lions and tricky tees continue with the same impasse: while Sporting wanted a low-cost operation, with a loan and purchase option, Nottingham always preferred a definitive sale - at least 50% of the player's pass.
Jota Silva - valued at 15 million euros - participated in 37 matches, serving 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.
