Nuno Espírito Santo holding up Jota Silva's move to Sporting | OneFootball

Jota Silva's arrival at Sporting continues to be postponed. This time, the 'blame' falls on Nuno Espírito Santo, who may be on his way out of Nottingham Forest, making this the main concern for the Premier League club's management at this stage.

The departure of the Portuguese coach seems to be getting closer, and he has even addressed the situation. At the heart of the issue appear to be differences regarding Nottingham's transfer policy, something that ultimately shifts the focus away from Sporting's negotiations for the winger.

Sporting still wants to have the Portuguese international in Rui Borges' squad; however, the club's management has already made it clear that they are only interested in Jota Silva on a loan deal, completely ruling out the possibility of a permanent transfer.

One of the reasons behind this decision by Sporting is precisely the amount demanded by Nottingham: between 6 and 7 million euros. The player is also convinced about returning to Portugal and is even willing to lower his salary, so that should not be an issue.

Furthermore, the same source indicates that Nuno Espírito Santo—who may indeed be leaving the tricky trees' technical command—has actually advised Jota Silva to move to Alvalade in this transfer window, which would allow the player to reunite with Rui Borges.
