There are few ‘grateful’ players in European football as Diogo Jota. Those players, on whom you can count on 100% to do the job you want on the field, without exception are rare to find and Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp is obviously aware of this. That is why he pushed, and the board agreed to extend the contract of the Portuguese forward until 2027 and give him more money than he currently earns, which is around 5.6 million euros annually.OFFICIAL: Diogo Jota has signed a new deal with Liverpool until 2027.Plenty more tidy finishes to come 👌(via @LFC)pic.twitter.com/reS5JB6AFu— B/R Football (@brfootball) August 2, 2022 This news just shows how much the German tactician appreciates Jota, since he renewed him before Roberto Firmino, who is another Klopp favorite, and who will be a free agent next season. Unlike the Brazilian, Jota signed until 2025, and still got the extension just two years into his first deal.“Well, I’m really proud, I have to say. Obviously since I arrived two years ago I established myself as an important player in this team – that’s what I wanted from the beginning. Now, signing a new long-term deal, it’s obviously from the club’s perspective proof of the belief in myself as a player. For me, obviously it’s really good to establish I’ll be here for a while. So, the beginning of a new season, let’s do it” he told Liverpoolfc.com just after signing.Liverpool laugh off Juve’s bid for Bobby FirminoJota arrived at the club from Wolverhampton for compensation of 44.7 million euros, and it seems that he justified every euro invested in him. In two seasons in Liverpool, he played 85 games in all competitions and scored 34 goals, with nine assists. Recently, after the departure of Sadio Mane, and the arrivals of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, along with Jota of course, Liverpool has seriously rejuvenated the attack. Also, despite the departure of the Senegalese, Jurgen Klopp has an exceptional choice in attack, as Salah and Roberto Firmino are still there.Diogo Jota wants to soar as the Reds begin life after Origi, Mane and Minamino“What Diogo has brought to this team and this club since he arrived is there for all to see, so it is really good news that he has signed a new contract. Brilliant, brilliant news, I would say. His qualities are obvious. He scores goals – not a bad quality – he works unbelievably hard for the team, his pressing and counter-pressing are on an unbelievable level, he can play in all of our attacking roles and he has an incredible attitude. Not a bad package. Not bad at all. As a striker who can play on the wing, he gives us so many options and since he came to Liverpool he has improved so much. I have said before that Diogo is the player we hoped he would be but also a little bit better, so long may this continue”##NAJAVA_MECA_6542351##Diogo Jota started his career in Pasos Ferreira, and at the age of 20 he went to Atletico Madrid, where he did not get a chance, but went on loan to Porto and Wolverhampton, who bought him in July 2018 for 14 million euros. It was an exceptional deal for the Wolves, who sold the Portuguese for three times its value in just two years. And now he will compete with Diaz and Salah for a starting spot, but with the number of games Liverpool is about to play this season, there will be a place for all.
