Celtic are standing firm on their Jota transfer stance as they chase a record breaking fee of more than £25million for their star man, according to a report.
And it is claimed that the Portuguese ace will automatically trigger a wage INCREASE in his Hoops contract from £35,000 to £45,000 if the Scottish champions rejected an offer of at least £25m to prize him away from Parkhead. The Daily Record report that club chiefs have been locked in weekend talks with Al-Ittihad over the blockbuster move with personal terms already agreed over the switch.
Kieran Tierney left Celtic for Arsenal back in 2019 for a £25m fee and the Hoops are looking to bank even MORE in order to sanction a deal that would see Jota move to the Saudi Pro League. The same report claims the two clubs are close to agreeing a package which could see a move go through in the next couple of days.
