Diogo Jota, a forward for Liverpool, lost his life in a car accident in Spain.
The reports state that the 28-year-old and his brother, Andre, were both in the car.
The vehicle reportedly drove off the road in the province of Zamora while traveling on the A-52.
Jota’s untimely death occurs just two weeks after he married Rute Cardoso, his longtime girlfriend, in Porto.
During Arne Slot’s rookie season, the forward was a member of the Liverpool team that won the Premier League title in May.
Police have stated that they are looking into what caused the tragedy. They said that no other vehicles were engaged.
