Diogo Jota could leave Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp exit

Diogo Jota could reportedly consider his long-term future at Liverpool in the wake of Jurgen Klopp’s expected departure.

According to Fichajes, Liverpool are in danger of losing few of their critical stars in the wake of Jurgen Klopp’s decision to leave the club in the summer. Diogo Jota is part of that list, with the 27-year-old attacker likely to consider his future once the German coach departs.

Diogo Jota to leave Liverpool?

Diogo Jota has been one of those players who, without being a bonafide regular, are super important for the team. At Liverpool, he has been superb since joining in the summer of 2020, as he has been a regular goalscorer under Klopp.

In fact, he has raked in 52 goals and 21 assists in all competitions through 36 appearances, meaning his record has been good. However, Klopp’s surprise announcement about leaving the club after the current season may have a negative effect on the futures of some stars, including Jota.

As per the report, the 27-year-old Liverpool attacker could consider his future at the club alongside Mohamed Salah and Thiago Alcantara. Jota is not mainly in a solid position to make that decision, although the story insists his departure could be linked with that of Klopp.

Liverpool are in a strong position when it comes to the Portuguese international, considering he still has a contract until 2027. However, if they were to receive a massive offer in exchange for the 27-year-old, then things could change drastically. In hindsight, the chances of Jota leaving are less unless there are exceptional circumstances in the background.

Other stars to follow Klopp out of Liverpool?

In the wake of a massive announcement such as Klopp’s decision to quit Liverpool, the media will start speculating about players who might follow him out. For instance, Salah might leave as Al-Ittihad are already in the hunt for the Egyptian.

While Liverpool are lining up a high-profile replacement, Xabi Alonso’s name has been mentioned in that regard. However, there are those other players., coming to the end of their contract, like Thiago, who might also depart.

Overall, there are chances the club and the subsequent replacement for Klopp will want to clear out some existing stars to bring their own. With Liverpool having worked hard to tie down some of their critical stars to long term deal, the possibility of a significant clear out are very low.
