Jota Silva still waiting at Sporting, billionaire to blame | OneFootball

At this moment, Evangelos Marinakis is the man who holds the decision about the future of Jota Silva. Sporting and Nottingham Forest have reopened talks for the Portuguese winger in recent days, but negotiations are still not progressing due to disagreement between the parties.

It is the Greek multimillionaire, owner of the tricky tees team, who will make the final decision about the former Vitória de Guimarães player's move to Portugal and, for now, the green and white board awaits the demands of the Hellenic investor, who is known for some negotiation inflexibilities, reveals A Bola newspaper.

In theory, Jota Silva's transfer to Sporting should be facilitated, since Forest have signed several names for the attacking front - McAtee, Hutchinson, Ndoye, or Kalimuendo - and Nuno Espírito Santo does not intend to hinder the departure of the Portuguese player.

On the winger's side, he continues to wait for new developments between the parties. Jota Silva is more than convinced to return to Portugal and has even admitted to lowering his salary to sign with Sporting. Moreover, the lions and tricky tees remain at the same impasse: while Varandas wanted a low-cost operation, with a loan and purchase option, Nottingham always preferred a definitive sale - at least 50% of the player's pass.

Jota Silva - valued at 15 million euros - participated in 37 matches, serving Nottingham Forest: 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, in the 1,098 minutes he was on the field.
