Is Jota Silva a Sporting player? Media reports conflicting scenarios | OneFootball

Jota Silva was reported as a new signing for Sporting just minutes before the transfer window closed, but it seems this scenario did not materialize. Nevertheless, the scenarios presented by the press end up being contradictory, which only raises more doubts about the deal for the forward.

The deal for the Portuguese left winger from Nottingham Forest proved complicated from the start. The player was an expressed wish of Rui Borges to the Sporting management, who intended to sign the player on a season-long loan. This scenario did not please the owner of the tricky trees, Evangelos Marinakis. Frederico Varandas seems to have brought the negotiations to a successful conclusion, but the lions failed to register their signing within the deadline.

Following this episode in the final minutes of the transfer window, the press has presented some contradictory scenarios regarding Jota Silva's whereabouts. Several media outlets claim that the player remains a Nottingham Forest athlete, indicating that there was no deal between the two parties.

On the other hand, much of the press reports that the Portuguese international is already a Sporting signing, despite not being registered in the Liga Portugal, as it was not accepted within the deadline. Some sources suggest that the former Vitória de Guimarães player can only be registered in January, but can already participate in the Champions League games, under Rui Borges' management.

The scenario will only be clarified if the SAD of the Alvalade Club sends a statement to the CMVM announcing the signing of Jota Silva. At the moment, no such documentation has reached the entity, but the situation should be resolved in the coming days.
