Liverpool head coach Arne Slot told TNT Sports that the club has paid the full contractual amount to the family of striker Diogo Jota, who tragically died on July 3 in a car accident.
Slot expressed pride in the fans’ reaction. The club owners are usually criticized, but this act deserved respect since they paid his wife and children all the money under the contract.

Maybe people think it’s normal, but it is not in football.
Jota’s contract with Liverpool was set to run until summer 2027. He had played for the Merseyside club since 2020.
After five rounds in the 2025-26 Premier League, Liverpool lead the table with 15 points. Their next match is against Crystal Palace on September 27 at 17:00 GMT+3.
