Portuguese international snubs Sporting, not keen to boost the Lions | OneFootball

Sporting spent a significant portion of the last day of the summer transfer market focusing on the signing of Jota Silva. However, a minute's delay resulted in the deal falling through, which left the Portuguese international extremely frustrated and unwilling to head to Alvalade.

According to the newspaper A Bola, Jota Silva does not hide his sadness about the situation and has decided to "scratch the lions from his thoughts". Thus, "Sporting is not in his future plans", and he will not continue with Nottingham Forest either.

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 ruled out of the options and his stay at Nottingham being "null", Jota Silva is looking for solutions for the future. At the moment, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are the options on the table. One thing is certain, the striker 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 English 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 this season's Premier League.
