Sporting on alert: Europa League club to hijack Jota Silva | OneFootball

Rome is interested in Jota Silva. Thus, the Portuguese international might end up being diverted from the Alvalade route, despite being one of the main interests of Sporting in this final stretch of the transfer market, as the native of Gondomar was an express request from Rui Borges to the Club's management.

According to information advanced by the newspaper Record, the emblem of the Italian capital, which will compete in the Europa League, asked the Nottingham Forest leaders about the possibilities of acquiring the 26-year-old forward. The response was not positive, but even so, the tricky trees did not completely close the door to this approach from the giallorossi.

Behind the response given by the British is the fact that Jota Silva is being negotiated between the clubs of City Ground and Alvalade. After an initial attempt to acquire the player on loan, Sporting agreed to buy part of the Portuguese international's pass, something that meets the demands of Evangelos Marinakis.

The one who seems pleased with the possibility of playing with the green and white stripes is the Portuguese forward of Nottingham Forest himself, as he can reunite at the leonine emblem with his former coach from the Vitória de Guimarães days, Rui Borges. In fact, the 'number 20' of the tricky trees has reportedly agreed to lower his salary to join the national champions.

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.
