Portuguese international snubs Sporting, refuses to bolster the Lions | OneFootball

Sporting focused a large part of the last day of the summer transfer window on signing Jota Silva. However, a one-minute delay caused the deal to fall through, which left the Portuguese international quite frustrated and unwilling to move to Alvalade.

According to the newspaper A Bola, Jota Silva does not hide his sadness with the situation and has decided to "erase the lions from his thoughts". 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 used substitute in the first round of the Premier League this season.
