The decision was made jointly by the club and the squad.
Chelsea will donate part of their Club World Cup bonuses to the family of late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, who died in a car crash in Spain’s Zamora province on July 3.
The west London club, crowned champions of FIFA’s expanded tournament in July after a 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey, earned an estimated $114.6million (£84.4m) from the competition.
From this, $15.5m (£11.4m) will be shared among the players, with an equal amount agreed to be given to Jota’s family. Each player’s share exceeds $500k before taxes and costs. The decision was made jointly by the club and the squad.
Liverpool have announced multiple tributes, including a memorial sculpture at Anfield, a ‘Forever 20’ emblem for the 2025-26 season, and a grassroots football programme in Jota’s name. The club has also retired the No. 20 shirt permanently.
A special fan mosaic and a minute’s silence will be held before Friday’s Premier League opener against Bournemouth.
Jota, who joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020, scored 65 goals in 182 appearances.
