As Al Ittihad consider renewing Jota’s employment, Celtic’s £25 million export is offered a reprieve.

£25 million summer export for Celtic Since choosing to fly for Al Ittihad instead of Glasgow, Jota has experienced some turmoil. The clever winger has only made five games and scored once since moving to Saudi Arabia, and it appeared as though the SPL team had forgotten about him.

The Scottish Sun reports that Al Ittihad manager Nuno is thinking about bringing Jota back into the club. Jota can only participate in cup tournaments because he was left off the Saudi Pro League roster. The club is aware of this and will provide additional financial incentives to keep players motivated. However, the report implies that the organization might be thinking about re-signing the Portuguese winger.

Jota is claimed to have been examining his options in the transfer window after learning about his situation in the team, including just ending the contract, which would have left him free to join other teams. However, it is thought that the Jeddah team is not enthusiastic about this suggestion.

The source further claims that, should the player be successful in ending his £192,00 per week contract, Ange Postecoglou and Spurs may take advantage of the current circumstance and sign the player for nothing. Although it will be intriguing to watch what happens with Jota, Celtic made a great business decision by insisting on upfront payment from the cash-rich Saudis.
