Attention! Rui Borges willing to take a pay cut to join Sporting | OneFootball

Jota Silva is willing to lower his salary to sign with Sporting. The Portuguese winger is a true ally of the lions in negotiations with Nottingham Forest and has already informed both parties that he is willing to facilitate the details of his transfer to Alvalade.

According to information revealed by the newspaper Record, the negotiations are already in the final stages and the player is making an effort to also guarantee his return to Portugal, which may mean some cuts to his current salary - this after the striker has already been in contact with Rui Borges.

The same source also states that, at this point, the conversations between Sporting's SAD and the player's representatives are about contractual details, with 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 at Nottingham, with the goal of speeding up the process.

Meanwhile, the lions and Nottingham Forest are still at an impasse: while Sporting wanted a low-cost operation, with a loan and option to buy, Nottingham has always preferred a definitive sale - at least 50% of the player's rights.

Jota Silva – valued at 15 million euros – participated in 37 matches for 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.
