Jota spent one year with Al-Ittihad before an offseason move to Rennes, which has sold the Portuguese forward to Celtic for a reported 10 million euros ($10.5 million). Celtic got a reported 29 million ($30.5 million) selling him after his first spell in Glasgow.

Kyogo Furuhashi left Celtic for Rennes in a £10m transfer deal this week. The former Celtic striker made it clear that he needed to leave Glasgow to help revive his international career and it seems that Kyogo felt that a move to Rennes was the best way to do that.

Celtic have re-signed Portuguese winger Jota on a five-and-a-half-year contract subject to international clearance, the Scottish club said on Monday, while striker Kyogo Furuhashi joined Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais.
