In what can only be described as one of the most emotional stories of the transfer window, Liverpool’s newest striker has revealed the heartbreaking real reason why he remained so adamant about joining the Reds.
Speaking candidly about his journey, the forward explained that his move to Liverpool was not just about football, money, or career ambition—it was a promise made to someone very close to him. With raw emotion in his words, he shared:
“This is the real reason I remained adamant that I must join Liverpool. I promise to clear the air if eventually my move to Liverpool becomes successful. It was all because of him—off the pitch we had lunch and dinner a few times before he died, and he told me he wanted to join Liverpool himself one day and help the club win back-to-back Premier League trophies, just like Manchester City did when they signed Haaland. I promised him I would carry his dream forward. After he died, I swore to myself that I would make his wish come true. And now, every goal I score this season will be in his name—Jota.”
The revelation has stunned fans across the football world. To many, it explains the player’s burning determination to push for the Liverpool move despite complications and rival interest. His decision was fueled not just by ambition, but by loyalty to a late friend who shared the dream of seeing Liverpool rise again.
Liverpool supporters have been deeply moved by this statement, flooding social media with messages of respect and admiration. For them, this isn’t just about signing a top striker—it’s about welcoming someone who carries the legacy of Jota’s spirit and a promise made in friendship and love for the game.
Even in death, Jota remains the best agent. Because of him, Liverpool signed a real striker.✊ Wish he was still here
