Chelsea will use some of the world cup bonuses that are paid to players to make a financial donation to the family of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.
The West-London club was crowned champion of the new FIFA tournament in July and beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey. Their success in the tournament earned the club an estimated $ 114.6 million (£ 84.4 million).
Chelsea subsequently assigned a fund of $ 15.5 million (£ 11.4 million) to be equally distributed between the players who represented Enzo Maresca during the tournament, with a decision that is taken together between club and players that the family of Jota will also be made to the family of Jota.
The total value of each part comes more than $ 500k before it is subjected to currency views from US dollars to UK Pound Sterling, in addition to relevant employer costs, taxes and social security costs.
Liverpool attacker Jota and his brother Andre Silva, a football player at Portuguese club Penafiel, both died in a car accident in the Spanish province of Zamora at 3, 10 days prior to the last victory of Chelsea's Club World Cup.
Liverpool recently unveiled plans for a memorial sculpture in their Anfield Stadium as the center for a permanent tribute to Jota, who scored 65 goals in 182 performances for the club.
The players of the club will wear a 'Forever 20' emblem on their shirts and stadium jackets for the duration of the 2025-26 season, while the LFC Foundation, the official charity of the club, will launch a Grassroots football program in the name of the Portugal International.
A special fan -mosaic and a minute of silence is planned for the first match of Arne Slot of the Premier League season against Bournemouth in Anfield on Friday.
Laverpool announced last month that they permanently withdraw the number 20 shirt at all levels of the club in memory of Jota, who came to the club of Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020.
