Carlos Borges is the latest name Celtic fans have turned to as the deal to take Jota to Saudi Arabia gathers wind.
The 19-year-old Manchester City wonder-kid, who plays on the same wing as the popular Portuguese star, has taken the interest of multiple clubs for his talents after scoring 25 goals and providing 11 assists in less than 30 games for City's under-21 this season. And while Record Sport reported that Celtic are bracing themselves to lose their star man to mega-bucks Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad for a whopping £25million, Parkhead punters have begun to question who Brendan Rodgers could recruit to fill the impending void left by the 24-year-old.
Borges boasts an impressive resume of 55 goals in nearly 80 appearances for City's youth side, something that has caught the eye of former Etihad coach now Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca. The Italian was a frontrunner to take over the hot-seat at the Scottish champions when Ange Postecoglou left for Tottenham Hotspur, with the Parkhead powerbrokers opting to give Rodgers a second go.
