Diogo Jota has come a long way since his early days as a Pacos de Ferreira youth player and having proved himself at Liverpool, he could be set to play a vital role for Jurgen Klopp amid Sadio Mane's uncertain future.
Mane, who joined Liverpool in 2016, is being heavily linked with a move to Europe giants Bayern Munich this summer, though their initial bid of £25.5m fell below Liverpool's asking price with Mane said to valued at closer to £42.5m. Although it has been reported that the 30-year-old is ready for a "new experience after many special years with Reds," he has yet not communicate his feelings to the club, and currently has one year left on his deal.
But should the Reds lose their star, the club may want to act smart and not turn transfer market this summer, given their squad's depth. Jota's potential could be sufficient to step in and fill the void with the Portuguese becoming prolific for Klopp since his £12million move from Wolves in 2020.
