# Celtic: Jorge Cadete makes Jota claim

**Former Celtic striker Jorge Cadete believes that the Hoops could end up landing loanee Jota in a cut-price transfer, as reported by [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jorge-cadete-fears-celtic-atmosphere-25176447).**

### The Lowdown: Jota clause

Ange Postecoglou made [three](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/celtic-dundee-st-johnstone-dutch-greek-b1912150.html) signings on deadline day over the summer, one of which was Jota, who shares the [same agency](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gestifute/beraterfirma/berater/413) as Cristiano Ronaldo. He arrived from Benfica on a [season-long loan with an option to buy](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12396142/celtic-transfer-news-benfica-winger-filipe-jota-joins-on-season-long-loan), with the fee required to make a move permanent thought to be just [over £6m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12396142/celtic-transfer-news-benfica-winger-filipe-jota-joins-on-season-long-loan).

The 22-year-old has been a [regular](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/329812) in green and white in recent weeks, scoring the winner against Aberdeen prior to the international break.

### The Latest: Cadete’s comments

In a report from [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jorge-cadete-fears-celtic-atmosphere-25176447), Cadete had his say on whether or not Celtic will make a permanent move for Jota, hinting that the reported fee could well drop over the coming months for the ‘exciting’ winger. The 53-year-old said:

> “It’s too early to talk about the value of Jota if Celtic want to buy him. It’s normal for clubs when they loan a young player abroad, they fix the buy clause at a high price.
>
> “Jota has been mentioned at six or seven million Euros.
>
> “But after the season, this figure is normally not the same as it was before. It might well be lower than that by then.
>
> “I’d like Jota to stay at Celtic in the long-term because I think it can be good for both parties. The Celtic supporters have an exciting player so it keeps them happy.”

### The Verdict: Looking good so far…

Postecoglou has used Jota on a regular basis over recent weeks, with the majority of his starts coming from the [left wing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/329812).

The 22-year-old also showed his versatility by playing off the [right](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/329812) against Real Betis, and at £6m in today’s market, a permanent deal for that figure could prove to be a snip.

The Hoops have had a habit of making profits on players over the past decade, most notably [Moussa Dembele](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moussa-dembele/transfers/spieler/229004), so maybe Jota could be the next in line to reap Celtic an eye-catching profit in the future if a clause of £6m or less is activated.
