😱 Botafogo target misses Sporting move after 1-minute delay | OneFootball

The final day of the transfer window always brings strong emotions.

But in the case of Jota Silva’s move to Sporting, the feeling is a bad one.

The Portuguese club registered the forward exactly 1 MINUTE after the deadline.

This information comes from the newspaper Record.

As a result, he will not go to the Portuguese champions and will remain at Nottingham Forest.

The clubs had agreed on a loan deal worth 4.5 million euros (R$ 28 million).

The Lions would have had a purchase option for 15.5 million euros (R$ 98 million).

At 26 years old, the Portuguese player recorded 4 goals and 2 assists in 37 matches last season.

It’s worth remembering that Botafogo made an offer of 19 million euros (R$ 120 million) for him.

Now, Jota Silva must evaluate his options after the failed transfer to Sporting.
