João Pedro Neves Filipe, better known as Jota, is a talented Portuguese footballer who became known thanks to his talent with the Celtic of Scotland, a team in which he showed his role as a dribbler and even scored several goals during his stay in the popular British team.
His talent and quality at only 24 years old made Al Ittihad sign him for $30 million dollarsan important club that has figures of the stature of Karim Benzema and Ngolo Kanté, however, apparently coach Nuno Espirito Santo would not be happy with the footballer.
The fans against Jota
Not enough with this, The fans consider that the arrival of the Portuguese to a club that has important figures was an unnecessary expense and in which they think that Jota’s name is unnecessary and is not in agreement with the other players.
Just a month ago the player arrived at the Saudi club and apparently they want to leave him and focus on continuing to insist on the hiring of the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, something that Liverpool has firmly refused, but that the Al Ittihad board does not consider the issue dead and will insist.
Jota’s departure would be joined by the Brazilian Marcelo Grohe and the Egyptian Tariq Hamedin an attempt by the team to make room and achieve a team with true galacticos in its ranks.
Karim Benzema would support the Portuguese’s departure
People say that Not even Karim Benzema would be happy with Jota’s work and it would be a key factor in the departure of a player who would become the first victim of Saudi footballafter scoring 11 goals in 33 games in Scotland.
It seems that for Jota, being dazzled by the salary of Saudi Arabian football was not such a good idea and his destination is far from where he arrived a little over a month ago.
