Liverpool terminate Jota's contract?

Several posts on football forums, tabloids and social media have circulated that Liverpool have terminated Diogo Jota's contract shortly after his death.

First of all, it should be made clear that this is not negative news. According to these sources, Liverpool terminated Jota's contract to facilitate the payment of the late star's entire salary for the remaining 2 years of the contract (until the summer of 2027).

It is known that Jota receives a salary of about 7.3 million pounds (9.8 million USD) at Liverpool. If this information is true, Liverpool will immediately pay nearly 20 million USD to Jota's family, as a way to support them.

But in fact, Liverpool has never made an official announcement about this. According to TransferFeed, Jota is still on Liverpool's long-term contract. Along with that, the insurance terms for the main factor (Key Person Insurance) are still valid.

It can be said that the information that Liverpool must terminate the contract and pay compensation to Jota's family right now is completely incorrect.

For a top team, they always have in-depth, humane policies and neat handling of such cases.

This rumor is likely to come from Liverpool fans, who want the club to continue paying the Portuguese superstar's full salary to support his family. Many fan groups have also announced that they are willing to donate to the club to do this.

But this is clearly unnecessary. In addition, Liverpool is likely to have other humanitarian support policies for Jota's family, such as mental support, support for child-rearing costs, and admission of Jota's child to a football academy...

Liverpool have not yet made any announcement about this. The team is focusing on memorial activities for the unfortunate star. Currently, they have announced that they will temporarily suspend preparations for the summer tour.
