Arne Slot has confirmed Liverpool’s owner, Fenway Sports Group, is to pay the final two years of Diogo Jota’s contract to the late striker’s family.
The forward and his brother, André Silva, tragically died in a car accident in Spain on 3 July, 11 days after Jota married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso, the mother of their three young children. Reports at the time indicated Liverpool would honour the remainder of the 28-year-old’s contract, which was to run until 2027 and was understood to be worth around £140,000 a week.
