In search of a more lucrative deal in Saudi Arabia, Jota, the 24-year-old, left Celtic in the summer. For the Portuguese winger, Celtic paid about £25 million.
Jota, nevertheless, has had a challenging time in Saudi Arabia thus far after being left off the squad roster for league games.
This significantly reduces the player’s playing time because he can only participate in cup and continental competitions.
His lone competitive match this month took place in the AFC Champions League on October 23, marking his final appearance for Al-Ittihad.
However, with Fenerbahce reportedly showing interest in the winger, Jota may choose to go on loan to get more playing time away from Al-Ittihad.
Jota may go from Al-Ittihad to Turkey, according to Fotospor, with Saudi sources speculating that a relocation may occur even if previous attempts have not been successful.
Strangely enough, Jota might replace former Rangers opponent Ryan Kent, who has also battled with minutes, in exchange for any move for Jota.
The former Ibrox attacker signed a free transfer to Fenerbahce in the summer, but he hasn’t played for the new team for more than 500 minutes.
He was only able to make replacement appearances after his final league start on the first day of the Super League season.
Although Kent has been linked to a move to the Premier League, it’s not clear if Fenerbahce will approve of the move without an agreement to sign Jota.
Contradictory reports, however, indicate that Jota might only come if Kent’s transfer out of Turkey is prompted by interest.
To make matters more difficult, According to Fenerbahce president Ali Koc, no players would leave until the completion of the campaign.
“We told the players and their managers,” he declared. Until the end of the season, nobody will depart.”
