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.”
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
French footballer Kylian Mbappé has spoken on which player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will score more goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It can be noted that the FIFA World Cup will begin on Thursday and will be co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
The player picked Lionel Messi to score more goals than Ronaldo during the tournament.
The Gunners have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave on June 30 as their contracts expire.
Here are some of the players whose contracts are coming to an end: Sam Chapman, Laia Codina, Harrison Dudziak, Seb Ferdinand, Cam’ron Ismail, Will Lannin-Sweet, Katie McCabe, Beth Mead, Josh Nichols, Samuel Onyekachukwu, Victoria Pelova, Alexei Rojas-Fedorushchenko, Barbora Votikova, Naomi Williams, and Manuela Zinsberger.
It can be noted that some of these players are still in talks with the club regarding contract negotiations during this period.
