Chelsea will use a portion of Club World Cup money allocated toward player bonuses to make a donation to the family of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.

Chelsea earned an estimated $114.6 million (£84.4 million) from its Club World Cup triumph, with the London club setting aside $15.5 million (£11.4 million) for player bonuses, per The Athletic.



That pot is set to be distributed in equal shares among those who featured in the United States.

And the players and management have made the classy joint decision to give one of those shares to Jota's family, who are dealing with the tragic death of the two brothers following a car accident involving the Liverpool and Penafiel players earlier in the summer.

It's expected that before any taxes and conversion costs, the share to be allocated to Jota's family will be worth more than $500,000.

Enzo Maresca was among the first to respond to the tragedy.

He was asked about it while on media duty at the Club World Cup.

He dedicated the Club World Cup win to his former Wolves and Portugal colleague.

Meanwhile, Jota's close friend and fellow former Wolves star Ruben Neves pledged in a moving tribute that the Liverpool star's loved ones would "never lack for anything." Amid the tragedy, the soccer world has rallied around the grieving family.
