OFFICIAL: Jota signs new five-year contract with Liverpool

Diogo Jota has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool FC, the club officially confirmed.

“Well, [I’m] really proud, I have to say,” he told Liverpoolfc.com after signing his new contract.

“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.”

Jota signed for the Reds from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020 and made an instant impact. He has scored 35 goals so far for the Reds, striking 21 times in all competitions last season - a career-high tally for him.

The new contract will run until the summer of 2027.
