Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, 28 years old, has tragically passed away alongside his younger brother André Silva, following a terrible car accident in Spain. The crash happened early this morning, July 3rd, on the A-52 highway, near Cernadilla, in Zamora province, Spain.

Reports say Diogo and André were travelling in a Lamborghini when the car’s tyre burst, causing them to lose control while overtaking another vehicle. Their car crashed into a barrier and immediately caught fire. Despite efforts by emergency responders, both brothers lost their lives at the scene.

This tragedy comes just 11 days after Diogo’s wedding to his longtime partner, Rute Cardoso, who is now left heartbroken with their three young children.

Football fans, teammates, and even world leaders have been sending messages of love and shock following the tragic news. Liverpool FC, where Diogo became a fan favourite, described the loss as “unbearable” and sent their support to both families.

Club manager Jurgen Klopp, visibly shaken, said, “Diogo wasn’t just a brilliant footballer, he was a wonderful father, a loving husband, and a true friend to many.”

Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo’s Portugal teammate, shared his heartbreak online, writing: “It’s hard to accept this… just days ago we celebrated your wedding. Life can be so unfair.”

Portugal’s Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, also expressed his sorrow, calling their deaths “an enormous loss” for the country. Meanwhile, football clubs around Europe, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Wolves, and Atlético Madrid, all sent their condolences.

UEFA has announced there will be a minute of silence before the next Women’s Euro games to honour both Diogo and André.

Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his shock and heartbreak over the sudden death of Diogo Jota. Jota, along with his younger brother André, lost his life in a car accident during the early hours of Thursday.

The two brothers were travelling together when the tragic incident happened. Both were footballers, with Diogo playing for Liverpool and André following his own path in the sport. Ronaldo, who shared the pitch with Jota for Portugal’s national team, couldn’t hide his pain. In an emotional message posted online, he said:

“It just doesn’t make sense. We were together recently with the national team, and you just got married. To your family, your wife, your children — I send all my condolences and strength. I know you will always be watching over them.”

“Rest in peace Diogo and André. You will both be missed by all of us.” Just last month, Ronaldo and Jota lifted the UEFA Nations League trophy together for Portugal, making this loss even harder to accept.

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly on Manchester United’s transfer radar this summer, with the Nigerian star said to be waiting for updates from England about his next move. This was revealed by Galatasaray reporter Serhan Türk during a recent appearance on A Spor, where he discussed the club’s ongoing transfer talks.

Türk explained that those within Galatasaray’s transfer committee confirmed Osimhen is currently weighing his options and will soon decide his next destination. “People I spoke with in the Galatasaray camp said Osimhen will soon give us his final decision,” Türk shared.

He also mentioned that Osimhen is firmly on Manchester United’s transfer list, with the player eager to hear from the Premier League side before making his move. There are also rumours about other clubs monitoring the situation, but no official confirmation has been made yet. Osimhen, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, is reportedly keen to leave Napoli on a permanent deal this summer.
