Bring him home – Jota set to leave Al Ittihad | OneFootball

Jota looks set to leave Al Ittihad after less than two months with the Saudi side. The Portuguese sensation was sold for €30m in June with a reported wage of £192k-per-week but rumours soon began to circulate that he was for the exit, albeit a loan.

According to M Bukairy on Twitter/X, Jota is set to leave and no reason has been given for his departure.

Al Ittihad likely don’t see much to lose from cutting a player that they’ve only recently spent tens of millions of pounds on. The Jeddah club will likely look to free up a space for another name from Europe that garners more fanfare – like Fabinho, Kante and Benzema.

For Jota, though, he’s in no-man’s land. He left Celtic for a lucrative proposal but no one will be able or willing to match those wages in Europe. Celtic could be a route back to football but it seems far fetched. After todays game at Rugby Park, we could’ve used someone of his quality.

In 83 appearances, Jota has scored 28 goals and assisted 26 times. The Celtic supporters adore the Portuguese star and if there was a chance at a return then we’d happily welcome this.
