According to Portuguese outlet Record, Liverpool intend to honour the final two years of Jota’s contract by paying the full amount to his family. In a sport often consumed by headlines and transfer figures, such a gesture speaks to something far deeper than the business of football.

In an emotional post shared on Instagram, the captain honored Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash early Thursday in Spain.

Diogo Jota killed along with his brother just 10 days after the Portugal forward got married. He had three children.
