In a dramatic twist that may shed new light on the tragic car accident that claimed the life of Liverpool star Diogo Jota, police have now confirmed the identity of the last person to contact him moments before the crash — and what they revealed in a brief, five-minute testimony has reportedly left the player’s wife “in complete shock.”
📱 A Final Call Before Impact
According to investigators, Jota received a call lasting under two minutes just ten minutes before his car veered off a coastal highway. At the time, authorities had been unable to trace the caller due to the use of a masked number and encrypted line.
But after nearly two weeks of tracing digital footprints and examining recovered data from Jota’s car's GPS and phone sync system, the caller has now been identified as a former Liverpool Academy staff member, whose name is being withheld for legal reasons.
🔍 Why the Testimony Shook the Family
The caller, who voluntarily came forward upon hearing of the investigation, admitted to speaking with Jota — not about football, but about something “urgent, emotional, and deeply personal”.
Police say the 5-minute in-person statement, delivered privately to Jota’s wife and legal team, contained a revelation about Jota’s state of mind and a secret he had intended to reveal publicly later this summer.
“It wasn’t about fear,” the witness reportedly told officers.
“It was about freedom. He was about to make a very personal announcement… and he didn’t know how.”
🧩 A Secret Kept from Everyone
Family sources say Jota had confided in very few people about a “non-football project” and an “important change” he was considering, something that would surprise fans and impact his long-term future.
The content of the final conversation has not been disclosed publicly, but one detail mentioned by the witness has been confirmed:
“He was distracted, torn. He asked me: ‘What if I just did it?’”
💔 His Wife’s Reaction
Upon hearing the full testimony, Jota’s wife reportedly broke down in tears, whispering:
“I knew something was going on… I just didn’t think it would end like this.”
Friends say she is still processing what the revelation means and whether or not the message should eventually be shared with the public.
⚠️ Ongoing Investigation
While foul play has not been suggested, police say the emotional nature of the conversation could explain Jota’s unexpected route change and erratic driving moments before the accident.
Authorities are expected to release a public update later this week, and Liverpool FC has declined to comment.
