The family feud surrounding the late Liverpool striker Diogo Jota has erupted again after fresh revelations about his widow, Rute Cardoso.
According to exclusive reports, Rute is allegedly making arrangements to leave Portugal with the couple’s three children, sparking outrage from Jota’s parents, who fear they may lose contact with their grandchildren.
The tension comes amid an ongoing dispute over Jota’s vast fortune. At the center of the storm is the alleged Spanish property empire — luxury villas and apartments worth millions — which Jota’s parents claim has been kept hidden from the will.
In a furious late-night statement, the grieving parents declared:
“If Rute attempts to take the children abroad before the truth about the properties in Spain is settled, we will not remain silent. This is not only about inheritance but about respect for our son’s legacy.”
Investigators in both Portugal and Spain are now examining documents tied to real estate transfers in Marbella and Madrid, some of which shockingly list names outside the Jota family circle.
Legal experts suggest the fight could escalate into an international custody and inheritance battle, with both sides refusing to compromise.
Meanwhile, rumors swirl that Rute’s sudden plan to relocate the children may be connected to a powerful figure in Spain, whose name has not yet been officially revealed.
