Jota, the troubled Al-Ittihad player, is rumored to be ending his Saudi nightmare and there is a glimmer of hope for Celtic to bring him back to Parkhead. Since leaving the Scottish Premiership for a £25million move to the Saudi Pro League, the 24-year-old has faced struggles, including being cut from the list of foreign players allowed in the league squad and spending six months on the sidelines, watching as his club made big-money signings, including Houssem Aouar and Moussa Diaby, with Sadio Mane also rumored to join the team.
While Saudi reports link Celtic as a potential destination for Jota, French reports suggest Rennes may secure a deal. Negotiations between the clubs are reportedly progressing, but the stumbling block remains Jota’s high salary. If he agrees to a lower wage, a move to Celtic Park could be on the cards, opening the door to Jota’s redemption journey back to Glasgow’s east end.
The possibility of Jota returning to Celtic has sparked speculation among fans and analysts. It is believed that although Jota may not be linked with the biggest clubs in the world, his significant wage demands could pose a challenge for the move. Pundits like Marvin Bartley suggest that Jota may need to accept a considerable salary cut to make the transfer to Celtic viable.
In the midst of negotiations and uncertainty surrounding Jota’s future, his potential return to Celtic Park remains a tantalizing prospect for supporters. The saga continues as football fans eagerly await the resolution of these ongoing discussions and the final decision on Jota’s next career move.
