Liverpool star Diogo Jota engaged in a heartfelt phone call with Gondomar SC's president, the club of his formative years, just hours before his tragic death.

Devastation struck early Thursday morning when 28-year-old Reds star Jota and his 26-year-old brother, Andre Silva, died in a fatal car accident on the A-52 motorway in Zamora province, Spain.

The brothers were headed to the port of Santander where Jota planned to catch a ferry back to England, as he had been advised against flying after recent lung surgery.



Their Lamborghini swerved off the road at around 12:30am local time, it is suspected due to a tyre blowout while overtaking, and both men lost their lives in the crash.

It has now been revealed that, shortly before the accident, Jota had a phone call with Alvaro Cerqueira, president of Gondomar SC.

Jota started his career with Gondomar at the age of nine.

Cerqueira recounted to JN: "It was just after 10pm last night [Thursday], we were on the phone and he was fine.

"We spoke almost every week, and I know he was going through a happy moment.

When Diogo needed to train during the off-season, he would ask to come here, and we would always make everything available.

"His brother would usually come too, and they would both train.

It is difficult to talk at a time like this, but what will remain is the image of two very humble people, who leave a huge void."

Gondomar, nestled close to the Portuguese city of Porto, was the place Jota considered home.

For your family to lose two sons, a husband and a father is just unimaginable.
