# Celtic: Jota could be sold for club-record fee

**Celtic will reportedly look to sell winger Jota for a massive €30m (£25.5m) when they make his move permanent, according to journalist [Pedro Almeida](https://twitter.com/pedrogva6/status/1465810183075119105?s=21).**

### The Lowdown: Jota’s impressive form

The 22-year-old has been in excellent form since moving to Scotland over the summer, becoming an regular figure under Ange Postecoglou.

The Portuguese winger has netted [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/329812) times and registered [six](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/329812) assists in [17](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/329812) Hoops appearances, occupying the left-hand side in a front three.

[Almeida](https://twitter.com/pedrogva6/status/1462197906006544384) previously suggested that Celtic ‘will advance to the definitive signing’ of Jota for a fee in the region of €7.5m (6.38m), and it now appears as if Parkhead chiefs could be keen on making an immediate profit.

### The Latest: £25.5m claim…

[Almeida](https://twitter.com/pedrogva6/status/1465810183075119105?s=21) took to Twitter late on Tuesday evening to provide an update on the winger.

He claimed that Celtic will buy Jota for €7.5m (£6.4m) and ‘plans to sell’ him for €30m (£25.5m), but didn’t name any possible destinations or interested clubs.

### The Verdict: Record-breaking

Should an immediate sale go through at €30m (£25.5m), that would make him Celtic’s [most expensive departure](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/rekordabgaenge/verein/371) of all time, surpassing the [£24.3m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/rekordabgaenge/verein/371) move which took Kieran Tierney to Arsenal in 2019.

It may make sense to keep hold of Jota after making his move permanent and try to build a team around the likes of him and Kyogo Furuhashi in attack. Described as [‘terrific’](https://tbrfootball.com/owen-hargreaves-delivers-honest-verdict-on-celtic-attacker-jota/) by Owen Hargreaves, you’d expect that there could be more to come from Jota, who is still early into his professional career, so holding onto him could be a wise decision.

However, it appears as if Michael Nicholson may have his eyes on a record-breaking transfer.
