Chelsea Donates Part of Bonuses to Diogo Jota’s Family…
Chelsea Football Club has decided to donate a significant portion of its Club World Cup bonuses to the family of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva. This generous act, which could easily buy a small island or at least a year’s worth of avocado toast, follows the heartbreaking loss of the brothers in a tragic car accident involving Liverpool and Penafiel players earlier this year. The club earned a whopping $114.6 million from their Club World Cup victory and has earmarked $15.5 million for player bonuses, with one equal share now going to Jota’s grieving family.
The generosity shown by Chelsea comes as a touching tribute to the late brothers. Prior to taxes and conversions, the share will be worth over $500,000, which is equivalent to the price of a mansion in Monopoly—if only we could actually live on those colorful cards. Tributes have also poured in from fellow players, and Liverpool fans will be unveiling a special fan mosaic at Anfield tomorrow. In a poignant move, the No. 20 jersey will be retired, and floral tributes from Anfield will be repurposed for flower beds around significant locations, making it a real-life fairytale ending—except without the happily-ever-after.
