Diogo Jota: Liverpool forward signs long-term contract extension | Football News

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has committed his future to the club by signing a long-term contract extension.

The new deal for the 25-year-old, who has scored 34 goals in 85 appearances since joining Liverpool from Wolves in the summer of 2020, is understood to run until 2027.

Jota joins fellow Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah in signing a new deal with the club this summer, following the departure of Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich.

The Portugal international has not featured in Liverpool’s pre-season matches due to a hamstring injury, and is expected to miss out on Saturday’s Premier League opener on Saturday at newly-promoted Fulham.
