Official: Serdal Adali signs €2.5m forward wanted by Sporting | OneFootball

Rui Borges did not hide that he really wanted to be able to count on Jota Silva at Sporting. However, a one-minute delay ended the striker’s transfer to Alvalade. With no room at Nottingham, the winger is now a reinforcement for Serdal Adali’s Besiktas.

"I feel very good, I’m excited to be here, it’s an honor to defend the club, I’m excited to get started," admitted Jota Silva upon his arrival in Turkey, where he was given a rapturous welcome by the fans present in Istanbul to support the player.

Moved by the crowd that came to greet him, Jota Silva made a request: "My message to the fans is to keep supporting this great club, keep your passion, we need it, we will give everything on the pitch to defend this great club."

It’s worth recalling that Sporting had an agreement to secure Jota Silva for 4.5 million euros, also covering a salary of 2.5M, with a purchase option of 15.5M. Besiktas secured the player for just 2.5M, with the possibility of a permanent transfer for around 17M.

Jota Silva – valued at 15 million euros – took part 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. The player came off the bench in the first round of this season’s Premier League.
