Car accident takes away Liverpool star Diogo Jota

Liverpool star Diogo Jota has died at the age of 28, leaving behind a tragic legacy of a football warrior, a devoted father, husband and brother.

On July 3, 2025, the world of football received a terrible shock when Liverpool star Diogo Jota and the Portuguese national team died in a car accident in Spain, at the age of 28. His passing is a great loss for Liverpool, for Portuguese football, and a profound tragedy for the small family he had just built just two weeks before.

Diogo Jose Teixeira da Silva, also known as Diogo Jota, was born on December 4, 1996, in Porto, Portugal. He began his professional career at Pacos de Ferreira, before moving to Atletico Madrid and being loaned to Porto and Wolverhampton. At Wolves, Jota helped the team win the Championship in the 2017-2018 season and return to the Premier League.

In 2020, he was recruited by Liverpool for £41 million. Under Jurgen Klopp, Jota quickly became an important link in the attack, with his flexible playing style, speed, relentless pressing and sharp finishing skills. He scored 65 goals in 182 appearances and contributed to the 2024-2025 Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield.

Not only outstanding on the field, Liverpool star Diogo Jota is also one of the most loved players at Anfield thanks to his friendly, cheerful and humble personality. He always creates a positive atmosphere in the dressing room, acting as a bridge connecting the players.

Xuan Son lost value

The transfer value of striker Nguyen Xuan Son has decreased compared to before, according to the latest update of player valuation website Transfermarkt.

The value of the star player of Nam Dinh Club has decreased from 700,000 Euros to 650,000 Euros. The main reason for the decrease in value is that Xuan Son has had to rest for more than half a year due to a serious injury suffered in the second leg of the 2024 Asean Cup final against Thailand.

However, Xuan Son is still the most expensive player in the Vietnam national team. This clearly shows the special role and expectations that fans and experts place on the striker born in 1997 in the squad of Nam Dinh Club and the national team.
