It was notified The Al-Ittihad administration told Jota that they did not want him to continue with the team in the next season, and made him an offer to transfer to one of the Saudi clubs.

The Union administration is seeking to reach a solution with Jota, after he became outside the accounts of the team’s technical staff led by Laurent Blanc, who excluded him from participating with the Tigers in group training.
