Nuno Espírito Santo a stumbling block in Jota Silva’s move to Sporting | OneFootball

The possible departure of Nuno Espírito Santo from Nottingham Forest is taking the focus away from the deal of Jota Silva's move to Sporting.

The arrival of Jota Silva to Sporting continues to be delayed. This time, the 'blame' is on Nuno Espírito Santo, who may be leaving Nottingham Forest, making this the main concern of the Premier League club's management at this stage.

The departure of the Portuguese coach may be getting closer, he has even addressed the situation. At the heart of the problem seem to be differences regarding Nottingham's recruitment policy, something that ends up taking the focus away from the lions' negotiations for the winger.

Sporting continues to want to count on the Portuguese international in Rui Borges' team, however, the lions' officials have made it very clear that they only intend to count on Jota Silva on loan, completely ruling out the possibility of signing the player permanently.

One of the reasons that motivated this decision by Sporting is the value demanded by Nottingham: between 6 and 7 million euros. The player is also convinced to return to Portugal and even lower his salary, so this should not be a problem.

Furthermore, the same source states that Nuno Espírito Santo - who may even be leaving the technical command of the tricky trees -, has even advised Jota Silva to move to Alvalade in this transfer market, which would mean the player would reunite with Rui Borges.
