Arne Slot has revealed that Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have fully resolved Diogo Jota’s contract with the Portuguese star’s family following his terrible death in early July.
The forward and his brother, Andre Silva, were sadly killed in a car accident while traveling through Spain to take a ferry back to the United Kingdom for preseason training. Jota, a father of three who had recently married his childhood girlfriend Rute Cardoso, had two years remained on his Anfield deal at the time of his death, with rumors from Portugal this summer indicating that the club will respect the entire contract.

Slot has now acknowledged this wonderful gesture while reminiscing on the striker’s terrible passing, saying that FSG had fully settled his contract to help the player’s family. In an emotional interview with Ally McCoist for TNT Sports, the manager of the Premier League champions described what had happened, says the Mirror.
He explained, “Unfortunately, we had to bring in one more player than we were… than what was planned. That’s why we spent more than we intended.
“Working at this club is so special to me because of the city’s grief.” To work at a club that is successful and has a parade, which is, of course, larger than any procession elsewhere in the globe.
