Wolves, where Jota spent three seasons, said they are “heartbroken” and said the former forward “will be truly missed, and always remembered.”
“Diogo was adored by our fans, loved by his teammates and cherished by everyone who worked with him during his time at Wolves. The memories he created will never be forgotten,” Wolves said.
