LONDON: Chelsea players will donate part of their Club World Cup winning bonus to the family of the late Diogo Jota, who died at the age of 28 last month.
However, a commendable act can be witnessed after the Blues stars chose to give up part of their bonuses to raise funds for Jota’s widow after the Liverpool player died in a tragic road accident with his brother, Andre Silva, and left behind three children.
Chelsea players and management made a joint decision to forgo part of their bonuses.
However, it is not yet clear what percentage of the bonus will be donated to Jota’s family.
However, the total bonus amount will be reduced by tax and social security deductions before the sincere contribution to Jota’s family is made.
