Jota is a misfit, and irate Al-Ittihad authorities are supposedly “welcoming” bids for him amid rumors in Saudi Arabia that he would rejoin Celtic.
After leaving the Scottish Premiership champions for a fee of £25 million last summer, the 24-year-old had a disappointing season in the Saudi Pro League. The winger was limited to cameos in cup tournaments and sporadic games in the Asian Champions League because he was not listed among the foreign players permitted in the Ittihad League roster at the start of the season.
After being drafted back into the squad in January he still faced an injury-hampered campaign in the Middle East managing just 25 appearances last term. Time now appears to be up for Jota at Ittihad after fans reacted angrily the attacker cleared the clip of his Ittihad unveiling from his Instagram page. The only video clip now left on the page is his emotional farewell to Celtic last summer.
