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.

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

Family and friends of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother are gathering at a chapel where their bodies have been brought for a wake.
