Celtic are on the verge of securing the permanent signing of Portuguese winger Jota, with the fee and contract details now emerging as the deal edges closer to completion.
The 23-year-old has been a standout performer for the Scottish champions since joining on loan from Benfica in 2022. With his electric pace, dazzling dribbling, and knack for scoring crucial goals, Jota quickly became a fan favorite at Parkhead, helping the club to domestic success and making a mark in European competitions.
Reports suggest Celtic will pay a transfer fee in the region of £6.5 million to Benfica, activating the option-to-buy clause included in his loan agreement. The deal represents a significant outlay for the Glasgow giants but is seen as a major coup given Jota’s quality and potential resale value.
Jota is expected to sign a long-term contract with Celtic, reportedly tying him to the club for four years. The player is said to be keen on continuing his career in Glasgow, where he has flourished under the management of Brendan Rodgers.
With the transfer nearing completion, Celtic fans are eagerly anticipating the official announcement, which would confirm Jota’s permanent status as a Hoops player. The move highlights Celtic’s ambition to build on their recent domestic success and compete more strongly on the European stage.
As the final details are ironed out, Jota looks set to remain a key figure in the club’s future, offering both flair and consistency in their attacking lineup.
