Nottingham Forest forward Jota Silva now looks set for another move away from the club, with fresh claims from Portugal suggesting he is on the verge of joining Olympiacos.

What happened?

The Greek side have reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest for a loan deal that includes an option to buy, according to Portuguese journalist Sebastião Sousa-Pinto. Jota Silva has also given the green light to the move, leaving the transfer waiting only for the final formalities.

Why it matters for Nottingham Forest

This development comes as Nottingham Forest sit 16th in the Premier League, with 44 points from 38 games, and a recent form of DLDWW, following their last result, a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on 2026-05-24. The move would see the 26-year-old spend a second consecutive season away from the City Ground after last year’s loan spell at Besiktas.

What comes next?

The latest development comes a few weeks after Jota Silva spoke optimistically about returning to Nottingham Forest for pre-season following his spell in Turkey, but the situation has changed with the departure of Vítor Pereira, who was believed to be an admirer of Jota Silva, and the arrival of Oliver Glasner, who may have different plans for the winger. Nottingham Forest could have decided the winger no longer fits the new manager’s plans, and the move would also keep Jota Silva within Evangelos Marinakis’ multi-club network. As of now, Nottingham Forest are 41 points behind leaders Arsenal, and have scored 48 goals while conceding 51, with a goal difference of -3, and their recent form has been 0W-3D-2L, with their last five games ending in DDLLD, as they look to improve their standing in the Premier League.
