According to Record in Portugal, the Premier League champions have decided to pay the remaining two years of Jota’s contract to his family in a gesture that has earned them the respect and admiration of the football world.

Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), made the swift and compassionate decision to pay out the remainder of Jota’s contract to his family in full, ensuring financial security for his wife Rute Cardoso and their young family during this incredibly difficult period.
Jota’s contributions helped Liverpool secure domestic and European success during his tenure.
Tributes to Jota have continued to pour in from teammates, including Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and others, as well as former Liverpool legends and supporters worldwide.
Liverpool have opened a book of condolence at Anfield and online, with plans under discussion for a permanent memorial at the stadium to honour Jota’s legacy.

What can anyone say bad about Liverpool FC? The respect they have for their players and fans are second to none. They have shown the world their heart. The team mates have shown their heart with their posts. Mr Jota, you were in the prime of your life. You had the WORLD at you feet and passed so tragicaly at 28, leaving your WIFE and CHILDREN aspin in life. Your brother Andre, who passed away with you has added more devastation to you family that No family shoud indure. My heart is broken for your Family, friends and team mates both of you played for. I can promise you and your Family that all Liverpool fans will never forget You. You have graced us with your heart and with your actions on the pitch for Liverpool Football Club. You were Loved by the fans of this amazing Club. You were loved by your Country. As a Super Star in world football, You will be sorely missed. Your young family, your newly married wife, your parents and family and friends will miss not having both of you around. They will miss the laughter you brought to them, the same way you brought to the Liverpool fans around the world. I have seen many players play for Liverpool since 1972, You were in your prime and I will never see how you would have Graced us for the future You and Andre may rest in peace.The World is is an empty place without both of you. Both of you Will Never Walk Alone.
My prayers to GOD for the family of Jota, May God grant them power and courage to admit these losses, may the spirit of God grant unto them enduring condolence as they live through this painful period.
We are thankful to Liverpool FC management for your thoughtful actions and kind gesture towards the family.
sunset at dawn. May your gentle souls rest in perfect peace. And to your beautiful families left behind you’ll never walk alone.
My deepest condolences to Jota a wonderful player and a special one R.I.P may his family be strong
