Chelsea made a rare and symbolic decision by paying part of the bonuses of the World Cup clubs to the family of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who died in a car accident in early July. The London club, winner of the tournament by beating PSG 3-0 in the final, chose, in agreement with its players, to share the fund for participants including an equitable amount for relatives of the two brothers, each portion representing more than $ 500,000 before taxes and conversion according to The Athletic.
This gesture of Chelsea towards the family of Diogo Jota, ex-player of Liverpool, testifies to the attachment of the London club to premier League players, highlighting humanity and solidarity beyond the field. An initiative reminiscent that football can also serve as support and memory in the most tragic moments.
