Ligue 1 club tries to hijack Jota Silva move from Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting is facing competition from Paris FC in the signing of Jota Silva from Nottingham Forest. The Lions have had the Portuguese winger on their radar for a long time, but have not yet found a solution to bring him to Alvalade, and now they are facing competition from the Ligue 1 emblem.

Sporting made another offer for Jota Silva last Friday, August 29, but the Lions also learned that they are not alone in the race for the Nottingham Forest winger's services, being accompanied by Paris FC, a team that was promoted to the main tier of French football at the end of last season.

Like Sporting, the emblem from the French capital is also seeking to reach an agreement with Nottingham Forest for a loan, which puts the two clubs on equal footing. The English club, on the other hand, continues to prefer a solution that involves a definitive sale of the pass.

If Nottingham Forest gives in and accepts the loan, A Bola newspaper reports that Sporting would have the advantage, due to the player's wishes: Jota Silva is very pleased with the possibility of returning to Portugal to wear green and white, largely because of Rui Borges, with whom he has already worked. On the Lions' side, the coach will also push for the deal to be finalized.

However, from the player's perspective, there is a main goal: to see his future resolved, whether at Sporting or not. With the transfer window about to close, Jota Silva does not seem to have a place in Nottingham Forest's starting 11, and the Portuguese international wants his situation resolved as soon as possible to get regular minutes again.
