Deal done! Jota Silva snubs Sporting and is set to join a new club | OneFootball

Jota Silva is set to play for Besiktas. The Portuguese forward is leaving Nottingham Forest for the Turkish club, after having been close to signing for Sporting. About a year after arriving at the English club, which signed him from Vitória de Guimarães, the player is now heading to Istanbul.

The agreement between the parties is sealed, despite the interest shown by Trabzonspor, which did everything to secure the services of the Portuguese international and was even willing to pay Nottingham three million euros for a one-season loan.

Besiktas is paying 2.5 million euros for the loan, with a non-obligatory purchase option of 17 million euros. These were the same conditions that Nottingham Forest was asking from Sporting, which came close to sealing the deal on September 1st.

With the transfer to Alvalade failing, Jota Silva always preferred the Turkish club, which took advantage of the fact that the transfer window was still open. The attacker is traveling, on a private flight, this Thursday night. On Friday, he will undergo medical examinations before signing the contract.

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.
