Jota on verge of Celtic transfer return as Hoops near 'agreement' with Benfica

Jota is on the brink of joining Celtic permanently with reports in Portugal claiming an agreement with Benfica is now just a matter of time.

The winger had an inspired debut season in Scotland with 13 goals and 14 assists under Ange Postecoglou.

It's believed the Hoops have the option to make the deal permanent for as little as £6.5m and fans are clamouring to see him return on a long-term deal.

The club have been working to make that happen with deals for Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers high on the list of priorities.

And it seems they are set to land at least one of those two with A Bola claiming he will be back at Parkhead barring any dramatic collapse in talks.

It's reported Jota has made it clear he wants to return to the Premiership champions and Benfica aren't going to stand in his way.

They would however bank 30 per cent of any future sale as part of the deal for the 22-year-old.
