Liverpool To Pay Late Striker Diogo Jota’s Full Contract to His Family
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has revealed that the club will honour the late Diogo Jota’s contract by paying the remaining wages to his family.
Jota tragically lost his life in a car accident in Northern Spain on July 3, alongside his brother, Andre Silva. He was 28 years old and left behind his wife, Rute Cardoso, and their three young children.
The Portugal international, who joined Liverpool in 2020, was earning about £140,000 a week and still had two years left on his contract, worth close to £14 million. According to Slot, the club’s owners have decided to ensure that Jota’s family receives the full amount.
Speaking to TNT Sports, Slot praised the gesture, saying: “I was proud of how the fans responded, but the ownership too. People often criticise owners, like they do managers, but in this case the way they handled the situation is really special. Paying his wife and children all the money left on his deal is something many might assume is normal, but in football, it rarely happens.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reveals why William Saliba was not present in the match against Chelsea.
The manager shared that the player was uncomfortable during training yesterday, but shared it wasn’t major but still enough to sit him aside from the game.
“Yesterday in training he was uncomfortable, so we need to explore a little bit more what happened. I don’t think it’s something major, but enough not to be involved in the game.”
