Although Diogo Jota, like his other teammates, has not had the best of starts to the 2022-2023 season, the Portuguese-born striker has undoubtedly delivered more than acceptable numbers once he donned the red shirt in 2020, being to this date a profitable purchase of which Liverpool have no regrets, because within the operation in addition to the economic issue was involved one of their youth players who even though he is already far away from the institution at Anfield, is still an element that contributes but in economic issues.
The operation resulted in this way; Jota arrived at the Reds for an initial value of £41 million, while the youth of the Academy, Ki-jan Hoever, emigrated to Wolverhampton for a price of £9 million, benefiting the Reds of this transaction because the value of the Dutchman rose so much that the gains at Anfield were huge, taking as a reference that at the time they acquired this promise from Ajax for a value that was only around £90,000.
"I have a great desire to play for Liverpool" - the words that excite Reds fans
If Nunez and Jota don't perform, Klopp already looking for replacements
Despite being a promising defensive prospect, the Dutchman did not get enough opportunities with Jurgen Klopp's side, appearing just four times in 2018 and 2020, a year which saw him leave Merseyside for Wolves, Despite giving him some regularity he was unable to sustain a starting place and was relegated to the bench, a situation that led him to move away from England to try his luck in his homeland in the second division with Jong PSV and later to move to the Eredivisie with PSV Eindhoven.
His arrival in the Netherlands caused a stir both at PSV, who signed him, and at Ajax, who served as his home during his training, and he is currently on loan at Boeren for one season. The Amsterdam native is now at home and will be looking to earn a starting place and give continuity to a career that still has a long way to go, getting off on the right foot by starting four of his six games so far.
If his best moments as a defender were to flourish at PSV, it is likely that the team would try to do business with Wolves next summer to acquire the youngster, with both English clubs benefiting from the operation, because while Wolves would be able to sell and recover part of their investment in the Dutchman, Liverpool would clearly be favoured financially, squeezing every last drop out of the transfer made in 2020.
