“Following the tragic passing of their beloved #20, Diogo Jota, the club has committed to continue paying his £140,000 per week salary for the remaining three years of his contract. That’s a total of £21.84 million, to be paid in scheduled instalments directly to his wife and three children.
To Liverpool, a global football powerhouse, this may seem a small gesture in financial terms. But to Diogo Jota’s family, it’s life-changing offering long-term security and stability after an unimaginable loss.
Even more moving, the club has pledged to establish a special dedicated fund to support Jota’s children for life.”
