The passion of Parkhead or the pounds? The UCL or the AFC Champions League? Playing with Benzema or Bernabei? Taking on Rangers or Ronaldo?

These are just some of the questions Jota will no doubt be asking himself after it emerged the Celtic star is a stunning £25 million target for Saudi Professional League club Al Ittihad.

Plenty have questioned whether it is a move a player of his age - the former Benfica man is still just 24 - with the majority of his career ahead of him.

It's generally accepted for stars coming to the end of their playing days such as Cristiano Ronaldo who is the poster boy for an emerging league.
