The shocking saga surrounding late Liverpool star Diogo Jota’s estate has taken a dramatic new turn.
According to exclusive court leaks, Jota’s will—long kept hidden from the public—contains the name of a previously unknown child listed as a direct beneficiary. The revelation stunned both his widow Rute Cardoso and Jota’s parents, who immediately demanded a DNA test to uncover the truth.
Lawyers confirm the child, described only as “Baby M.” in the document, is entitled to a substantial portion of Jota’s multimillion-dollar fortune.
Jota’s devastated parents called the situation “a betrayal of the family’s trust”, and insiders say they fear the child could be the result of a secret affair.
“We need answers,” Jota’s mother allegedly cried during a private family meeting. “If this child truly belongs to him, then the world must know.”
But the DNA results, obtained after weeks of legal wrangling, stunned everyone. According to investigators close to the case, the child’s genetic link was not to Jota directly, but to someone else in the footballer’s inner circle — a twist that has left the entire family reeling.
Whispers suggest that the identity of the true father, once revealed, could shake Liverpool FC to its core.
