Exciting Celtic rumour emerges about Jota on social media

While coming through the youth ranks at Benfica, Jota was one of the most highly rated young talents in the world and at one point of time, had even been linked with a big move to Real Madrid. His senior career had not gotten off to the start that many would have expected though. He struggled to make his mark in the first-team of the Portuguese giants and then struggled while on loan at Real Valladolid. It is safe to say that his loan spell at Celtic has turned his career around.

Jota has been sensational for the Hoops. Thus, the club are believed to be looking to sign him on a permanent basis. But there is a lot of interest in in the player now as well.

A move back to his boyhood club, Benfica, could be on the cards. On the other hand, he has been linked with Premier League clubs at the same time. Celtic do have an option to buy included in the loan deal though and as a result, it could all come down to the player and what he wants to do next.

Amidst all this, rumours are doing the rounds on social media that Jota was at Celtic Park today to be in the photoshoot for next season’s kit.

If Jota was indeed at Celtic Park to take pictures in the new kit, that could be a huge sign that he might be staying on at Parkhead and signing on a permanent basis.

It is unlikely that the club would want him to be on the photoshoot if he was set to leave just a few days later.

Let’s see how things unfold moving forward and one can only hope that Celtic are able to sign Jota on a permanent basis. All these are rumours at the moment though and should be taken with a pinch of salt before anything more concrete emerges.

According to stats from Transfermarkt, Jota has scored 12 goals and provided 14 assists in 39 appearances for Celtic this season.
