Jota Silva is hurt by Sporting and does not want to strengthen 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 "cross the Lions out of his mind." As such, "Sporting is not in the forward’s future plans", and he will also not continue at Nottingham Forest.
The winger is said to have rejected several offers in the summer—the most recent from Botafogo—since he only wanted to return to Portugal, play for Sporting, and reunite with Rui Borges. However, the delay in documentation prevented Jota Silva from fulfilling his wish.
With Brazil ruled out and staying at Nottingham being "out of the question," Jota Silva is looking for solutions for the future. At the moment, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are the options on the table. What is certain is 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 – took part 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 starter in England, the winger scored four goals and provided two assists. The player was used as a substitute in the first round of this season’s Premier League.
