Jota, who had only been married to his wife Rute Cardoso for 11 days, left behind three young children.

In a gesture of goodwill, Liverpool's ownership has decided to pay Jota's remaining wages in full, a commitment that is not typical in the football industry.

Slot appreciates this decision, noting that it is not a common practice for club owners to provide such financial support to a player's family in this situation.

While the amount paid out is estimated to be between £10-15 million over the remaining two years of Jota's contract, this gesture is seen as a kind and compassionate move by the club's owners.
