Unfortunately, things haven’t gone well since the Celtic star left Parkhead for a hefty price last summer.

The Saudi Pro League team’s experience with Jota’s Al Ittihad contract has been appalling, adding to the Celtic hero’s ongoing unhappiness.

According to reports, the Hoops paid over £25 million for the winger in the previous summer. Before spending one full season with the Hoops, Jota came on loan from Benfica under Ange Postecoglou. During his time at Parkhead, Jota won five titles. In 83 games, he scored 28 goals and provided 26 assists.

He chose to relocate to the Middle East for financial gain, but ever since he arrived, he has been connected to transfers abroad. During the January transfer window, West Ham was heavily linked, but the transaction was too complicated to close.

The AFC Champions League is Jota’s sole opportunity to play competitively as he is not included on the Saudi Pro League’s local list. Al Ittihad regrets having agreed to the then-boss Nuno Espirito Santo’s request to sign the Celtic winger, and now they have a problem, according to Shooot’s Ali Al-Anzi.

“The contract with Jota was surprising,” he remarked, “especially considering he was a star with Celtic in the Scottish League.” At the Portuguese coach Nuno Santo’s request, he arrived with an extremely huge cash.

“However, Jota’s absence for over half, if not the entire season, makes things peculiar. It appears to me that Al-contract Ittihad had with Jota was a grave and serious mistake in administration. However, I believe that because of the financial sustainability requirement, every team will carefully consider every agreement before making it.”
