Ligue 1 club tries to hijack Jota Silva move from Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting faces competition from Paris FC in signing Jota Silva from Nottingham Forest. The Lions have had the Portuguese winger on their radar for a long time, but have yet to find a solution to bring him to Alvalade, and now they face competition from the Ligue 1 club.

Sporting made another offer for Jota Silva last Friday, August 29, but the Lions also learned that they are not alone in the race for the Nottingham Forest winger, as they are joined by Paris FC, a team that was promoted to the top tier of French football at the end of last season.

Like Sporting, the club from the French capital is also seeking to reach an agreement with Nottingham Forest for a loan deal, putting both clubs on equal footing. The English club, on the other hand, continues to prefer a solution involving a permanent transfer.

If Nottingham Forest gives in and accepts the loan, the newspaper A Bola reports that Sporting would have the advantage, due to the player's preference: Jota Silva is very pleased with the possibility of returning to Portugal to wear the green and white, largely because of Rui Borges, with whom he has previously worked. On the Lions' side, the coach is also pushing for the deal to happen.

However, from the player's perspective, there is a main goal: to have his future resolved, whether at Sporting or not. With the transfer window about to close, Jota Silva does not seem to have a place in Nottingham Forest's starting eleven, and the Portuguese international wants his situation resolved as soon as possible to get regular playing time again.
