Breaking News: Ronaldo Gave Diogo Jota a £200,000 Watch Days Before His Death — Family Say Watch Is Now Missing, Call Police and Discover Shocking Truth
In a stunning twist following the tragic death of Liverpool striker Diogo Jota, his family have revealed that a £200,000 luxury watch gifted by Cristiano Ronaldo just days before the fatal accident has mysteriously vanished — and what police discovered next has left them reeling.
According to close relatives, the watch — a rare limited-edition Rolex Daytona made of platinum and diamonds — was handed to Jota privately by Ronaldo after a charity event in Lisbon. The gift was reportedly meant to celebrate Jota’s achievements for club and country, and the two shared a heartfelt conversation about “cherishing the time you have.”
The Watch That Disappeared Overnight
Following Jota’s untimely death, his family began cataloguing his possessions when they realised the high-value watch was nowhere to be found.
“At first we thought maybe it was in a safety deposit box or with a friend,” a family member said. “But as we searched, it became clear — it was gone.”
The family filed a report with local police, fearing it had been stolen in the chaos following the tragedy.
Police Trace the Shocking Trail
Investigators reviewed CCTV footage from Jota’s home and discovered that the watch had been removed less than 48 hours after his death. The person taking it was not a stranger — but someone from inside Jota’s circle.
Authorities have not released a name, but sources claim the individual has a long-standing financial dispute with the late player.
Ronaldo ‘Deeply Saddened’
A representative for Cristiano Ronaldo told reporters:
“Cristiano gave this gift from the heart. He is deeply saddened to hear it’s missing and hopes it will be recovered in honour of Diogo’s memory.”
Police have launched a formal investigation into the incident, with the watch now considered a key piece of evidence.
The shocking disappearance has added another layer of mystery to Jota’s final days — and reignited speculation about tensions and trust issues within his inner circle.
