After Nottingham Forest snub, Sporting bring good news for Jota Silva | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest's refusal to Sporting does not seem to have made the Lions lose hope of signing Jota Silva in the current transfer window. The player, who crossed paths with Rui Borges in Guimarães, continues to be a target for the green and whites, and Sporting's officials have already sent a new proposal to try to secure the services of the Portuguese international before the end of the summer market.

Sporting had already sent a proposal to Nottingham Forest last Tuesday, August 26, which was initially well received. However, the owner of the Premier League club, Evangelos Marinakis, was not pleased with Sporting's signing of Ioannidis, and the deal for Jota Silva became complicated.

This happened because, besides owning Nottingham Forest, Evangelos Marinakis also owns Olympiakos, the arch-rival of Panathinaikos, the club from which Ioannidis arrived. Additionally, the Greek is also part of the SAD of Rio Ave, where Clayton plays, who would have been the alternative forward that Sporting ended up signing.

These two factors made the situation shaky, but the newspaper A Bola reports that the Lions do not want to give up, and Frederico Varandas has sent a new proposal for Jota Silva last Friday, August 29. Despite the difficulties, the expectation is that Frederico Varandas will manage to bring the deal to a successful conclusion, to bring the winger, who was reportedly requested by Rui Borges, to Alvalade.

Sporting continues to pursue Jota Silva on loan, with a purchase option contingent on the Portuguese winger meeting certain objectives. At the moment, it is not ruled out that this option could become mandatory at the end of the season, which might be one of the conditions to finally resolve the former Guimarães player's dossier.
