Jota Transfer from Rennes to Celtic
Celtic signed Jota from Rennes for 10 million Euros. Jota had previously attracted interest from Beşiktaş while he was at Al Ittihad, but the transfer did not happen due to high costs.
The Daily Record has reported that Jota has returned to Glasgow on a long-term deal with Celtic. Jota is now back in Glasgow on a five-and-a-half-year contract. Despite previous links to some of the top leagues in Europe, he had moved to Saudi Arabia in a significant £25m deal in 2023. Two years later, he has rejoined the Hoops following frustrating periods in Saudi Arabia and with the French team Rennes. It was noted that manager Brendan Rodgers played a crucial role in Jota's return, as they engaged in very honest discussions and developed a mutual belief in each other.

The Daily Record reports on Jota's imminent return to Parkhead from Saudi Arabia. Jota has touched down in Glasgow and is on the verge of a stunning return to Parkhead just 18 months after a huge £25million switch to Saudi Arabia. Brendan Rodgers is set to bring him back for a fee in the region of £8 million after struggles in the Pro League and then in France with Rennes.
Portuguese star Jota is on the verge of rejoining Celtic in a £8.4 million deal. The transfer is expected to be completed in the next 24 hours, despite delays due to Storm Eoywn in Scotland. The deal is separate from Kyogo's transfer to Rennes. Brendan Rodgers mentioned that Jota would be an incredible addition to the squad, given his previous performance and qualities.
Daily Record reports on Jota's potential return to Celtic in the upcoming transfer window. Jota is on the verge of a sensational return to Celtic in a deal worth around £8.5m. The French outfit Rennes is determined to offload the attacker in this January transfer window. The 25-year-old departed the Hoops 18 months ago in an eye-watering £25m sale to Saudi Arabian outfit Al Ittihad, and the Parkhead club also pocketed a slice of the sell on when he headed to Rennes for around £9m.
The Daily Record reports on the potential return of Jota to Parkhead from Rennes. Rennes is likely to green light a return to Parkhead for Jota, with the clubs in talks over an initial loan. Rennes manager considers Jota's departure as an opportunity to bring in a new winger.
A Bola reported that Celtic is interested in re-signing Portuguese player Jota. The Scottish club is looking to bring Jota back to Glasgow to join Paulo Bernardo. Currently, Jota is not part of Jorge Sampaoli's plans at Rennes, as he has been excluded from the squad for recent matches, indicating that his departure in the winter transfer window is almost certain. Jota previously played for Celtic before transferring to Al Ittihad for eight million euros, and he returned to Europe earlier this summer.
Jota finds himself in a state of uncertainty at Rennes, with the possibility of returning to Celtic after losing favor since Jorge Sampaoli's arrival. Reports from Turkey indicate that a £6.7 million permanent transfer fee has been set for the winger. Meanwhile, sources in France suggest that a loan move could also be considered as the club aims to mitigate their losses following his summer transfer from Al-Ittihad. Rennes has one remaining slot to loan a player abroad according to Ligue 1 regulations, potentially paving the way for Jota's return to Celtic Park.
Jota has struggled to get going both in Saudi Arabia and in France since his £25m exit from Parkhead 18 months ago. There are serious noises that he wants a move back to Parkhead. A player-plus-cash swap deal involving Kyogo does make sense for both clubs.
Michael Stewart suggested that Celtic should consider re-signing Jota from Rennes if he becomes available at a significantly lower price than what they sold him for to Al-Ittihad in 2023. Jota is reportedly not at full fitness, but the new manager at Rennes regards him as an important player. Stewart estimated that a potential transfer fee could be around £5-6 million. There has been some speculation and discussion about Jota at Stade Rennais. The new manager has indicated that although Jota is not fully fit, he is still considered an important player. Stewart noted that players of Jota's caliber, available for such a price, are rare. At 25, Jota is still considered young, with many promising years ahead in his career.
