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.

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

Hundreds gathered in the Portuguese town of Gondomar to pay respects to Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, both professional soccer players.
