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.
I am delighted for Aaron that he has gone out on a real high after making such a telling contribution to Celtic last season and that, together with all his other achievements, should be a real source of pride to him.
CELTIC are set to sell winger Jota to Saudi Arabian champions Al-Ittihad in a deal worth more than £20million.
The 25-year-old still has three years left to run on his Celtic deal. However, money has proven no obstacle for Al Ittihad in other deals and it could prove hard for either club or player to say no given the potential finances involved.
As well as the Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt partnership the former Scotland u-21 skipper found himself behind Moritz Jenz, Yuki Kobayashi and Tomoki Iwata at various times in the season just finished.
