Furious Varandas blames Sporting for Jota Silva deal collapse | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas blames Evangelos Marinakis in the Jota Silva case. As revealed by our Newspaper in this Exclusive Leonino, the President of Sporting points to the owner of Nottingham Forest as the main reason why the forward is not currently a player for the lions.

As is known, Sporting reached an agreement with the tricky trees for the signing of the Portuguese international, but the documentation arrived on the Liga Portugal platform one minute after the deadline, which rendered the deal for the player impossible.

According to information gathered from a source close to the process, Frederico Varandas is furious with Marinakis's position, which complicated the transfer until the last minute, leaving Sporting's officials with little room to maneuver the necessary documentation.

Bernardo Palmeiro, Sporting's general director for football, did everything possible to ensure that everything was in compliance on time, but the clock was against the green and whites due to the various changes demanded by Marinakis.

Jota Silva – valued at 15 million euros – participated 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 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.
