Overview
- On July 2, 2025, Jeff Shi said he would reverse the September 2020 sale of Diogo Jota to Liverpool if he could change club history.
- Shi pointed to recurrent hamstring and ankle injuries as key reasons for letting Jota go.
- He revealed that head coach Nuno Espirito Santo opted to keep Adama Traore over Jota when finalising the transfer list.
- Since joining Liverpool, Jota has scored 65 goals in 182 appearances and won the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.
- Shi named Patrick Cutrone—signed in July 2019—for an initial £16 million as the worst deal of his tenure due to limited returns.
