Alan Brazil is in denial over the thought of Jota making the shocking switch from Celtic to Saudi Arabia outfit Al-Ittihad.
Stunning news emerged on Thursday when it was revealed in the Middle Easter that the Portuguese fans favourite is on the verge of mega-money to the Saudi Pro League. Record Sport told how the 24-year-old's agent was confident of a deal being done with the champions with terms said to be agreed and his exit from Brendan Rodgers' side close. Celtic have moved quickly to fill the potential void with a five-year deal for Australian winger Marco Tilio.
But Hoops-daft Brazil reckons there's no chance the former Benfica starlet will swap the Champions League and Celtic for Saudi, as he was informed of the reports live on his morning breakfast show. The 64-year-old immediately shut down any idea the Scottish champions will lose their star man to the ever-growing league.
He told Talksport when quizzed on the Jota links: "Ach away. Nah, he won't go there. I can't see it. No, he definitely won't go there."
