By revealing that Leeds United is also interested in Jota Silva, Nottingham Forest has taken steps to exert pressure on Sporting Club de Portugal in the negotiations.
Noticias Ao Minuto claims that Nottingham Forest is taking advantage of Leeds’ interest in this regard. According to their report, Nottingham Forest informed Sporting that Leeds is a contender for the 25-year-old winger.
Sporting has been trying to sign him for a few weeks, but they would rather have a loan agreement with a buyout option at the conclusion of the 2025–2026 campaign.
A permanent sale is what Nottingham Forest would like. Because Sporting is unlikely to want to give Nottingham Forest the €15 million they want for Silva, this is making negotiations challenging.
The two clubs are now having informal discussions, and the coming days will be very important. Although Sporting plans to exercise patient, Nottingham Forest has already alerted their Portuguese counterparts about Leeds’ “pressure.”
They are competing as well, and it is thought that they have the resources to pay Evangelos Marinakis’ asking price. It may be debatable whether Leeds are willing to do so or whether that is genuine, but Nottingham Forest maintains that they are eager and are attempting to exert pressure on Sporting.
