So, when Jota left Celtic this summer for Al-Ittihad, it certainly hurt the squad. Yes, it was for a £25 million transfer fee but that does not change the fact that the team was weakened.
Celtic have gone on to sign three wingers over the summer. It remains to be seen if any of them are capable of replicating Jota’s impact.
Even earlier rumors said that Al-Ittihad was about to release him as a free agent. That seems very likely if Jota is truly still on their league roster.
If Jota were to become a free agent, Celtic ought to absolutely think about the possibility of bringing him back. For both parties, it would make sense.
Jota has demonstrated himself in the Scottish game and also made an impression in the Champions League last year. He is most likely superior to any winger Brendan Rodgers now has at his disposal.
On the other hand, it would also be an opportunity for Jota to restart his career in comfortable settings as opposed to making another jump.
Jota was an absolute talisman during his two seasons with Celtic. The Portuguese winger was a key part of Ange Postecoglou’s team, a man for the big moments and one of the most popular players at the club.

Jota, on the other hand, is in a bad situation at Al-Ittihad. He appears to already be outside of their plans just a few months after joining to the club.
When Jota registers after the transfer window has closed for Al-Ittihad, he will be denied a spot in the team, according to reports from Jeddah and Football Scotland.
When Jota moved to Al-Ittihad, that is the last thing he would have anticipated. He appears to be facing the possibility of not playing in a league this year.
