Kim Byung-ji, President of Gangwon, has warned the winger that there will be a backlash but that could simply be setting the scene for the 2.5m euro deal to Celtic to be completed.
It is known that the Gangwon club has turned in a positive direction regarding Yang Hyun-joon’s summer transfer, and has also resolved the resentment with Yang Hyun-joon’s side related to the transfer.
It’s easy for people to question the players desire, but once that money is presented to you, it becomes hard to turn down. And I bet the pundits that are criticising him would all do exactly the same thing if they were offered the chance to.
Brendan’s terrific for the club. I know him very well and have a great working relationship with him from the past.
Neither Celtic or the player seem to be keen on that option, rather than lose out on selling a player to Europe it seems that Gangwon have turned to Brazil to bring in a replacement before doing business for the sale of the 21-year-old winger.
First time around Brendan Rodgers transformed the careers of half a dozen players including Tom Rogic, James Forrest, Mikel Lustig, Stuart Armstrong, Scott Brown and Callum McGregor.
With a fee in the region of £2m quoted there should be room to negotiate giving Gangwon extra funds to bring in a replacement.
Towards the end of the season it became clear the influence that Carter-Vickers exerts over the whole defence with Jota as influential as any attacker.
After two seasons in Scotland it seems inevitable that Jota has signed off with a goal in the final of the Scottish Cup to complete the domestic treble.
While the visits of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Roma have been cancelled, a match between Celtic and Incheon United is still progressing.
