Santa Clara tempts the Casa Pia winger, but Vitoria offers him better conditions and the possibility to play in the Conference League. It would be a free signing for Minho, who is also negotiating with the left-back in Japan.
Jota Silva has had a huge impact in attacking Casa Pia, one of the teams that have returned to the Portuguese First Division, a small step away from signing with Vitoria de Guimarães. The 22-year-old winger is at the end of his relationship with the Lisbon club and must commit to Minho, with a three-season contract in the pipeline. Santa Clara is also in the running for the striker, but Vitoria offers him better salary conditions and the possibility of playing in the Conference League that would satisfy the trainee at Sousense and Paços de Ferreira. As a senior, before defending the colors of Casa Pia for a season and a half, such as Paços de Ferreira B, Sousense and Leixões.
In 39 matches, Jota Silva added 14 goals and four assists, after he finished the current season as Casa Bella’s top scorer in the second Spanish League, by scoring 11 accurate shots. With this imminent signing, the Vitoria sports community is compensating for the departure of Ricardo Quaresma, who is also in the process of announcing a Japanese international destined for the left-back position. Rafa Soares, as he is known, will also leave the club and SAD has secured a replacement in due course, his identity not being revealed until after the season is over in Japan.
