Reportedly, Jota was on his way to take a ferry to England for Liverpool’s pre-season training when the accident happened.
He wanted to travel by sea after doctors had advised him against flying, following a minor surgical procedure.
The fatal crash comes less than two weeks after Jota’s wedding to Rute Cardoso on 22 June 2025. The couple had been engaged since 2022. They had three kids together.
