The Brazilian league continues to be the go-to market for many European teams. According to Football Scotland, Celtic have enquired about Gremio forward Ferreira as they look for a replacement of Jota.
The Portuguese winger was sold to Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Ittihad for £25 million, leaving a huge vacancy in the starting lineup. Therefore, the 25-year-old Brazilian has emerged as an interesting alternative.

Ferreira would be interested in joining Celtic
Ferreira doesn’t have much playing time with the Tricolor, which is why this could be the right timing to pack his bags. He still has plenty of time to prove his worth, but could end up regretting passing on an offer from Europe right now.
As per @mhendry92, Celtic are also keen on Gremio forward Ferreira.
The 25-year-old has 18 months left on his contract at the Brazilian Serie A club.

The left winger is under contract at Gremio until December 2024, which is why it would make sense for the Porto Alegre-based outfit to cash in as well. Ferreira has three goals and three assists in 14 appearances this year.
