Marinakis tells Varandas to take a hike, Sporting face transfer setback | OneFootball

Evangelos Marinakis continues to complicate life for Sporting. The Lions made a new offer for Jota Silva, which was quickly denied by Nottingham Forest. The Greek multimillionaire did not appreciate the efforts of the Sporting structure, which wants to loan the Portuguese winger.

According to information revealed by the newspaper Record, in this new offer, the green and whites presented a "substantial increase" and also included the optional percentage of a possible purchase of the player after his loan. In addition, the Lions also proposed a bonus for the performance of the winger, but the direction of the Premier League emblem was not convinced.

Despite another refusal, the same source states that the tricky trees have shown openness to carry out a similar deal, but with numbers higher than those presented by the Alvalade Club. For this reason, Sporting is already preparing to go back on the attack for the reinforcement requested by Rui Borges.

For his part, Jota Silva remains completely focused on the possibility of transferring to Sporting even in this off-season. The player is also convinced to return to Portugal and even lower his salary, having even ignored other offers with the aim of heading to Alvalade.

Jota Silva - valued at 15 million euros - participated in 37 matches for Nottingham Forest last season: 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. The player was a substitute used in the first round of this season's Premier League.
