Sporting has made it clear to Nottingham Forest that they only intend to have Jota Silva at Alvalade on a loan basis. The green and white management is adamant about this decision, at a time when talks for the winger seem to be stalled.
According to information revealed by the newspaper O Jogo, the green and white structure has even given up on the possibility of signing the Portuguese international on a permanent basis, so only a loan would be a viable option to bring the winger to Alvalade.
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 keen to return to Portugal and even lower his salary, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Meanwhile, the same source reports that Nuno Espírito Santo - who may even be leaving the technical command of the Tricky Trees - has advised Jota Silva to move to Alvalade in this transfer market, which would allow the player to reunite with Rui Borges.
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 the Premier League this season.
