Reports indicate that Al-Ittihad officials are now considering offers for Jota, who has struggled to find his footing since leaving Celtic last summer for a hefty fee. Fans have been disappointed with his performance in the Saudi Pro League, where he has been limited to sporadic appearances due to his exclusion from the squad of foreign players.
Despite a brief return to the team in January, Jota’s time in the Middle East has been plagued by injuries, leading to just 25 appearances last season. His recent actions on social media have further irked the club, prompting them to entertain proposals for his transfer this summer. While Al-Ettifaq was believed to be interested, talks have now stalled, leaving Ittihad waiting for new offers before making a final decision.
Rumors suggest that former manager Brendan Rodgers may be interested in bringing Jota back to Celtic, while Crystal Palace’s Odsonne Edouard is also potentially on the move if a significant bid is made. In an effort to upgrade their squad, Celtic looks to secure a substantial fee for Edouard to bolster their lineup and challenge for top honors. However, one player they are not willing to part with is Kyogo Furuhashi, as Urawa Red Diamonds eye a possible transfer but have yet to make a formal offer.
As the summer transfer window heats up, all eyes are on the futures of these players as clubs weigh their options and look to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.
