Liverpool tie down Diogo Jota to long-term contract to avoid Sadio Mane transfer repeat

Diogo Jota has signed a new five-year contract at Liverpool, with Jurgen Klopp keen on avoiding a repeat that saw Sadio Mane leave in a cut-price move this summer.

The Portugal star has been rewarded with a significant pay rise and a new deal until 2027, having impressed since arriving from Wolves in a £45million move two years ago. It is a huge signal of intent from the Reds and manager Klopp, who sees Jota as a huge part of the club's long-term future.

Discussions between sporting director Julian Ward and Jota's agent Jorge Mendes have been ongoing throughout the summer and the club have finally got the new deal over the line. Klopp will now be hoping Jota, who has scored 34 goals in his two seasons at the club, continues his fine form and can possibly fill the void left by Mane.
