Official | Rennes’ Jota returns to Celtic | OneFootball

Jota (25) has left Rennes to secure his comeback to Celtic FC, both clubs have announced. The Portuguese winger has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Scottish Premiership giants, subject to international clearance, which will see him remain at Glasgow until June 2030. Jota only joined Rennes last summer in an €8m deal from Al-Ittihad, but he arrived out of fitness and when he finally got up to speed, he was no longer part of Jorge Sampaoli’s plans while Rennes’ season spiraled out of control.

Rennes and Celtic FC reached a €10m agreement for Jota to return to Celtic Park. In a separate deal, Celtic FC striker Kyogo Furuhashi will join the Ligue 1 club imminently. With Rennes, Jota has logged one goal and one assist in 10 appearances with Les Rouge et Noir. “It’s very nostalgic for me because it was such an amazing feeling and all the moments that I felt through my two seasons here, and I’m just delighted to be back. I’m really excited and I just can’t wait to start”, Jota said.
