£25M STAR COULD RIP UP HIS CONTRACT AFTER TOTTENHAM LINKS

Al Ittihad summer signing Jota could look to terminate his contract amid links with a potential move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Jota is plotting how to leave Al Ittihad just months after leaving Celtic for a move to Saudi Arabia.

That is according to reporter Rudy Galetti, who claims that Jota is weighing up a move away from Al Ittihad.

Jota was part of the Saudi Arabian spending spree over the summer as Al Ittihad coughed up £25million to sign him from Celtic.

The move has quickly turned sour though with Jota early featuring under Nuno Espirito Santo, and a rapid move away from the Middle East has been rumoured.

Jota seeking route out of Al Ittihad

Galetti now reports that Al Ittihad will be leaving Jota out of their squad list until the winter transfer window.

This is a truly unbelievable turn of events and Jota is left searching for an answer.

Transfer windows around Europe have closed now and Jota seems stranded for now.

It’s stated that Jota is considering whether to try and push to change Nuno’s mind or try to terminate his contract.

Becoming a free agent wouldn’t help in terms of playing games; he would have to wait until January to be registered with a new club.

Still, maybe training and preparing with a new club is better for Jota though with his time in Saudi Arabia becoming a nightmare.

Tottenham may look into Jota move

You have to imagine that a number of clubs would be interested in signing Jota if he becomes a free agent – and Tottenham may just be one of them.

90Min reported in late August that Tottenham were informed of Jota’s availability, opening the door for a loan move to North London with a late switch being considered.

The idea was for Jota to reunite with his former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham; the Australian loved Jota at Celtic, calling him a ‘special player’ during their stint together.

Tottenham signed a different winger in Brennan Johnson but have just learned that Ivan Perisic looks set to miss the rest of the season through injury.

That could open the door for Jota to come in, with Postecoglou no doubt monitoring the situation very closely.

Tottenham Hotspur’s supposed buy-back clause for Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane debunked

Tottenham do not have a straight-forward buy-back clause for Harry Kane despite Daniel Levy’s claims. Spurs have a first option on Kane if he was ever to return to the Premier League, with no fixed price – meaning Tottenham would still need to negotiate a fee with Bayern.

However, there’s doubt over whether Kane would even consider returning to Spurs while Levy remains at the helm.

Tottenham will have the first option to sign Harry Kane should he return to the Premier League in the future.

There’s no fixed price but should Bayern accept an offer from another English club, Spurs would have the opportunity to match the fee.

Bayern CEO Christoph Freund then told DAZN (as captured by @iMiaSanMia) that he will not reveal any contract details (who in their right mind would anyway?):

We won’t say anything about that. We never reveal anything about contract details. Harry is here, has left England for the first time with conviction. We have a four-year contract with him. We are very, very happy and are planning long-term with him at Bayern. He will shape this team and an era here. I’m convinced of that. He feels very comfortable and has big goals with Bayern in the coming years.

For his part, Levy doubled-down on the assertion, while speaking to Bloomberg (as captured by @iMiaSaMia).

“If Harry, one day, wants to come back to the Premier League and he wants to come to Tottenham, we would have the ability to repurchase him,” said Levy. “Harry was a great servant to the club, an amazing player, someone that came from our academy, but you can’t look into the future. Who knows?”

Kane recently scored from the spot as Bayern downed Manchester United 4-3 in a thrilling yet uninspiring performance at home in the  Champions League.
