Jota signs new long-term contract with Liverpool
Forward Diogo Jota has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool, the English Premier League club said on Tuesday (Aug 2).
Liverpool did not disclose the length of the deal, but British media reported the Portugal international has signed a five-year extension, keeping him at Anfield until 2027.
Jota helped Liverpool win the FA Cup and League Cup last season, while they finished second in the Premier League just a point behind Manchester City and reached the Champions League final, which they lost to Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old arrived at Anfield from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020 and has scored 34 goals in 85 appearances for the Reds in all competitions.
Jota joins teammates Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho in committing his long-term future to the club.
He is currently recovering from a hamstring injury that has curtailed his pre-season and is set to miss Liverpool’s Premier League opener at promoted Fulham on Saturday.
