Varandas pushes Sporting to the limit for Rui Borges’ deadline gift | OneFootball

Sporting is going to push for Jota Silva's transfer on the last day of the market. The Portuguese winger from Nottingham Forest has been one of the main targets for the Lions to strengthen their attack, but his saga has extended practically throughout the entire transfer window, and there is no end in sight with time running out.

However, the latest information is in favor of Sporting. The green and white officials met last Sunday, August 31, with the Nottingham Forest Board, and, according to the Record newspaper, a platform of understanding was reached, which the Lions believe is enough to close everything on the last day of the market.

Moreover, the same newspaper also explains that, despite the many setbacks and advances that the operation has suffered, Frederico Varandas promised Rui Borges that he would do everything, within his power, to bring Jota Silva to Sporting during the current transfer window.

In addition to having to deal with the difficulties imposed by the owner of Nottingham Forest, Evangelos Marinakis, Sporting also saw Paris FC show interest in Jota in the final phase of the market. However, this possibility has fallen through, and the Lions are alone in the fight for the player.

At the moment, Sporting has on the table, a loan proposal, with a fee of two million euros, and a mandatory purchase clause, in the summer of 2026, for 15 million. The figures are still not enough, but Varandas has already decided that he will stretch as far as he can, within what the Club considers reasonable. On Jota Silva's side, he has given his approval to the Lions.
