Liverpool are deeply shocked by the loss of Diogo Jota and the club's reaction to his death has gone beyond mere mourning.
This includes the travel of several team members, technical staff and club executives to Gondomar for tributes, as well as the decision to pay the player's family the remaining two years of his contract - reports the "Record" newspaper.
On Thursday, in an official statement, the English club expressed their desire to "perpetuate" the number 20 shirt, in honor of Jota's contribution to winning the Premier League this year - the 20th championship title in the history of the "Reds".
Furthermore, fans of the legendary club have demanded on social media that the number 20 shirt, which he wore during five seasons with Liverpool, where he won four trophies, be permanently retired.
Thousands of people have visited the Anfield memorial near Liverpool's stadium, leaving flowers, scarves, shirts and photographs in his memory.
Among them, former captain Jordan Henderson paid tribute to the Portuguese striker today and could not hide his emotion./Express newspaper/
