Jota Al Ittihad transfer exit ‘close’ as ex Celtic winger ‘to leave’ one month after £25million switch
Reports in Saudi claim he will depart after just one month following his Parkhead switch
Jota is reportedly set to LEAVE Al-Ittihad just one month after signing for the club for £25million.
The ex-Celtic winger arrived in the Saudi Premier League back in early July for a near-record-breaking fee for the Scottish champions. It was a move met with disappointment from the Hoops fans but earned their club a whopping cash sum as well as helping the player himself pocket an eye-watering salary.
Incredibly, a loan move was soon mooted for the Portuguese who had spent two years in Glasgow with Saudi outfit Al-Shabab believed to be closing in on a short-term signing just after he arrived. Now, though – according to sports critic Muhammad Al-Bakiri – the wide man is on the verge of leaving.
