Jota and the Celtic transfer intricacies as winger's future tied into Benfica signing talks

Celtic are set to bring Jota back to Parkhead this summer on a permanent transfer.

And reports in Portugal claim a sell-on percentage will be written into his contract when he leaves Benfica on a permanent deal.

The Premiership champions are set to take up their £6million option to buy this summer to bring the 23-year-old back to Glasgow's east end.

Ange Postecoglou said at the end of the season to expect a quick resolution and it's one he certainly appeared relaxed over.

However, supporters won't rest easy until Jota is snapped holding a scarf above his head.

It had been claimed Benfica and Celtic chiefs have been unable to agree over a future sell-on percentage.

But A Bola state this is not the case and that a 30 per cent sell-on clause was rubber stamped as part of the option to buy.

The reports in Jota's homeland suggest a deal the imminent as Celtic prepare to activate the clause.
