Struggling Jota is facing an uncertain future at Stade Rennes after just six months at the club. The 25-year-old had hoped to revive his career in Ligue 1 after a disappointing stint in the Saudi Pro League, but things haven’t gone as planned.
After leaving Celtic for a lucrative £25 million deal with Al-Ittihad, Jota found himself quickly sidelined from the squad and now history seems to be repeating itself in France. Despite showing promise under former manager Julian Stephen, the winger has been left out of the starting lineup since new boss Jorge Sampaoli took over.
Rumors are swirling that Jota could be on the way out as Rennes looks to strengthen their squad in other areas. The player is said to be seeking more playing time and discussions have already begun with his representatives about his future. Clubs from the UK have reportedly shown interest in acquiring the talented winger.
This turn of events is a blow to Jota, who had spoken fondly of his time at Celtic earlier in the season. He expressed gratitude for the support of the fans and the opportunity to play under coach Ange Postecoglou. Despite the uncertainty, Jota remains hopeful for a brighter future and the chance to show his children the love he experienced at Celtic Park. Only time will tell if a dream move is on the horizon for the determined winger.
