Jota Silva on the verge of joining Sporting, but only on loan | OneFootball

Jota Silva is unlikely to slip through Sporting's fingers. Despite having a proposal for the player's loan rejected by the owner of Nottingham Forest, Frederico Varandas' SAD has reached a new loan agreement for the Portuguese international. The Lions believe that the athlete is getting closer to becoming a reinforcement for Rui Borges.

According to information reported by the newspaper A Bola, the latest proposal from the Alvalade Club for the 'number 20' of the tricky trees involves a loan valid for one season, with an option to buy. The deal's values are subject to variables, which increase with the player's game appearances and goals scored.

In the initial negotiation phase, Evangelos Marinakis wanted the definitive sale of Jota Silva's pass, but after reflection, he believed that this scenario would not be fair for an athlete who had few opportunities as a starter in the Nottingham Forest team and has not been among Nuno Espírito Santo's recent choices.

Despite also attracting interest from Leeds, the Portuguese international believes that moving to Sporting will be more advantageous for his career, considering that the Lions will fight for the championship and have secured participation in the main phase of the Champions League. The forward can draw attention and be an option for Roberto Martínez for the 2026 World Cup.

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.
