A winger worth £200,000 per week is being chased by Celtic.
Jota, a winger for Al-Ittihad, is someone Celtic is interested in bringing back to Celtic Park.
That’s in line with 90min’s assertion that Jota may decide to quit his team during the January transfer window.
What then is being said concerning Jota and Celtic? Let’s examine this.
What is the tale?
Jota, a winger for Al-Ittihad, may be moving during the January transfer window, according to 90min.
In the summer of 2023, the Portuguese winger left Celtic to join the Saudi Pro League team.
Ninetymin has stated that Celtic are “in the running to re-sign the winger.” My View: Jota will not return to Celtic.
According to reports from The Scottish Sun, Al-Ittihad paid Celtic £25 million in transfer fees for the winger and are paying the 24-year-old £200,000 per week as salary. Jota is not playing any domestic games for Al-Ittihad and has played twice in the AFC Champions League.
Any transaction including Celtic would, first and foremost, be a loan arrangement. The Hoops could never afford to pay a transfer fee in addition to the £200,000 weekly salary of the Portuguese great.
After all, Jota has given Celtic everything he has, so why would Al-Ittihad be willing to send a player they signed for £25 million only a few months ago on loan in January and also pay for the majority of his wages? If the Saudi Arabian club does make a loan deal with any club, they will probably ask them to pay Jota’s £200,000 weekly salary.
There are Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United interested in Jota, and I think the winger would be more inclined to move to England than return to Scotland.
