In light of Newcastle United’s injury woes and their connections to Saudi Arabia, there was considerable anticipation that the Magpies would utilize that market to their advantage during the January transfer window.It sparked extensive censure during a period when speculations were circulating that Ruben Neves might transfer to Tyneside in the wake of Sandro Tonali’s betting suspension.

 

However, a Premier League resolution that would have prohibited clubs from loaning players from teams owned by the same entity failed, so Newcastle are free to negotiate with any of the clubs owned by PIF.

 

Al Ittihad is among them; the two teams may potentially separate from Jota this month. Having been identified as a potential target for Eddie Howe’s squad, the 24-year-old is now rumored to have been extended an offer by Newcastle United.Graeme Bailey, an informant for HITC Football, stated as much to Geordie Boot Boys regarding the Portuguese winger.Jota’s journey to Newcastle merits “close attention.”

He advised, “Keep an eye on the Jota development.”

 

“That is certainly intriguing regarding Newcastle.” As a performer owned by the PIF, he may be available for a nominal fee. “Put an emphasis on that particular one.”It has come to my attention that he is being considered by numerous clubs, including Newcastle. Technically, they do indeed own him, and he is an exceptional player. It is my belief that he would do well to integrate himself into Newcastle.

 

“A significant number of clubs appear to like him.”

 

Bailey does concede, however, that Newcastle’s consideration of Jota is contingent on Miguel Almiron’s departure.

 

Newcastle might be interested in acquiring a player similar to Jota.

Newcastle will require a replacement should they decide to transfer Miguel Almiron. It is uncertain, however, whether the 29-year-old will depart the club.Despite discussions regarding his possible release by the Magpies this month, he reportedly prefers to remain in the North East.

 

But if a change of heart occurs and Almiron is released, Jota could be an excellent replacement. During his tenure with Celtic, he was phenomenal, accumulating 28 goals in 83 appearances and five trophies. The attacker’s influence was immense during Ange Postecoglou’s tenure; she had previously referred to him as “special.”

 

The fact that Jota is a member of a club that is under the ownership of PIF may facilitate the completion of this transaction. However, it would almost undoubtedly attract considerable scrutiny.
