In a gesture of profound respect and humanity, Liverpool FC has confirmed it will honor the full value of Diogo Jota’s remaining contract, ensuring that his young family receives financial security in the wake of the Portuguese forward’s tragic death in early July.

According to sources close to the club and reports by Front Office Sports, the total amount is estimated at $20 million USD (~£15.5M), with £7M+ set to be paid to his family over the next two seasons — the time remaining on his contract.

“It’s not just about money. It’s about legacy, loyalty, and what it means to be part of this club,” a club insider shared.

⚽ A Loss Felt Across the Football World

Jota, only 28, passed away in a car accident in Spain just 11 days after marrying his long-time partner Rute Cardoso. His death stunned the football world and devastated the Liverpool community, where he had become a fan favorite for his relentless energy and big-game goals.

💔 Support Beyond the Whistle

In addition to the financial support, Liverpool will reportedly retire the No. 20 shirt for the upcoming season and is planning a memorial at Anfield ahead of the club’s first home game.

The club will also cover all funeral and memorial expenses.

A charity fund in Jota’s name is being organized to support underprivileged youth in Portugal.
