There was often mention of a sensational return to Celtic for Jota, with fans hoping for his return.

Celtic have reportedly sounded out Al Ittihad over a deal to re-sign Jota on loan. The move would depend on Al Ittihad softening their stance as they prefer to offload him on a permanent basis. Jota's £200k-per-week salary is also a major stumbling block, but his representatives would attempt to negotiate a financial package with Al Ittihad.

Jota could be on his way back to Celtic next season with "raging" bosses at Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad welcoming offers for the former Bhoys winger.
