Chelsea is reportedly planning to use a portion of the Club World Cup bonuses awarded to players as a financial contribution to support the families of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, according to The Athletic.

After their triumphant victory in FIFA’s newly expanded tournament in July, where they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and secured over $114 million in earnings, the Blues have allocated $15.5 million for player bonuses. Players and club officials made a joint decision to contribute an equal payment to Jota’s family.
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, a footballer for Portuguese club Penafiel, tragically lost their lives in a car accident in Spain's Zamora province on July 3, just 10 days before Chelsea's triumph in the Club World Cup final.
Liverpool players will sport a ‘Forever 20’ emblem on their shirts and stadium jackets throughout the 2025-26 season. Additionally, the club announced last month that the No. 20 shirt would be permanently retired at all levels in honor of Jota.
