Jota to Celtic transfer non negotiable as Stiliyan Petrov reckons permanent deal is worth wait for 'excitement' factor

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Concerned Stiliyan Petrov insists Jota must be a Celtic player next season with the Parkhead legend eagerly anticipating a permanent transfer from Benfica.

The 23-year-old was a smash hit during his season-long loan at Celtic Park and he is expected to finally rubber stamp as a £6.5m permanent deal with the Premiership champions when he returns from his summer break.

The purchase option in his loan agreement has been triggered with the final details of his contract finally ironed out, according to reports in Portugal.

With Cameron Carter-Vickers completing a quick-fire move from Tottenham following the end of his loan, fans expected Jota to quickly follow in the centre-back's footsteps, but an announcement has yet to emerge from the club.
