Sporting issue ultimatum to Nottingham Forest over Jota Silva | OneFootball

The saga between Sporting and Nottingham Forest over Jota Silva seems to have no end in sight. At this point, the Lions’ management has reportedly issued an ultimatum to the Premier League club, stating that the deal will only go through if it is a loan.

According to information revealed by the newspaper O Jogo, the green and white management has apparently given up on the possibility of a permanent transfer for the Portuguese international, meaning that a loan is the only viable option to bring the winger to Alvalade.

One of the reasons behind this decision by Sporting is the fee demanded by Nottingham: between 6 and 7 million euros. The player is also keen to return to Portugal and is even willing to lower his salary, so that should not be an issue.

Furthermore, the same source reports that Nuno Espírito Santo – who could even be leaving his position as head coach of the tricky tees – has actually advised Jota Silva to move to Alvalade during this transfer window, which would reunite the player with Rui Borges.

Jota Silva – valued at 15 million euros – featured 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. He came off the bench in the first round of this season’s Premier League.
