The Paris side was the last team to enter the race for a player who is highly valued by Sporting’s coach, Rui Borges.
Paris FC has joined the fight for Jota Silva and could snatch the Portuguese winger from Sporting still in this transfer window. The Portuguese international has been one of the main targets for the Lions, largely due to the green and white coach, Rui Borges.
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, being joined by Paris FC, a team that was promoted to the top tier of French football at the end of last season.
Just like Sporting, the Parisian club is also seeking to reach an agreement with Nottingham Forest for a loan deal, which puts both clubs on equal footing. The English club, for its part, still prefers a solution involving a permanent transfer.
If Nottingham Forest gives in and accepts a loan, the newspaper A Bola reports that Sporting would have the advantage, due to the player’s preference: Jota Silva is said to be very pleased with the prospect of returning to Portugal to wear the green and white, largely because of Rui Borges, with whom he has already worked. On Sporting’s side, it will also be the coach pushing for the deal to go through.
However, for the player, there is one main goal: to have his future settled, whether at Sporting or elsewhere. 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 so he can get regular playing time again.
