Liverpool FC has reportedly decided to pay out the remaining £14.6 million on Diogo Jota’s contract to his family, following the player’s tragic death.
According to Record Portugal, the club will honour the full value of Jota’s contract despite the fact that player agreements typically become void upon death. Jota had signed a five-year extension with Liverpool in 2022, earning approximately £7.3 million annually, with two years left to run.
This decision by Liverpool is being praised as a compassionate and respectful gesture towards the player’s legacy and family.
Jota, who made a significant impact at Anfield since his arrival from Wolverhampton Wanderers, was widely known for his professionalism, skill, and dedication both on and off the pitch. The club’s gesture underscores its commitment to supporting the families of its players during the most difficult times.
