After Jota's death, the Portuguese media Record reported that Liverpool will bear all the salary of Jota's remaining two years' contract and pay it to his family.

Liverpool coach Slot confirmed the news in an interview with TNT.

Slott said: I am proud of what I said about the fans' reactions and the role the club plays in it. Of course, bosses are often criticized, just as our head coaches are always criticized, but the way they handle this situation—paying the full salary left on Jota’s wife and children’s contract—maybe people think it’s normal. I know that in football, this is not unusual.
