Wolves officially announced that Diogo Jota was inducted into the Wolves Hall of Fame. "This is a tribute to his outstanding contribution to the club and the profound impact his death has had on the football world," Wolves official wrote. In the next two home courts, Wolves will mourn Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.

On July 3, 2025, Diogo Jota and Andre Silva unfortunately died in a car accident, shocking the entire football world. After the misfortune, Liverpool acted quickly and gave Diogo Jota's family more help in all aspects. Fans launched an action to mourn Jota at Anfield. The club permanently retired Jota's No. 20 jersey and paid his family the installment of his contract for the next two years to his family. At the same time, Jota's old club, Wolves, is also mourning Jota in its own way. The Wolves Hall of Fame was established in 2008 to recognize players and teams who have made outstanding contributions to the club. The first group of members was selected in 2009 and 38 players or teams have been recognized for their contributions to the club's glorious history. In the summer of 2016, Atletico Madrid spent 7 million euros to introduce Diogo Jota, but Simeone directly loaned it to Porto. A year later, Jota was loaned to Wolves again by Atletico Madrid. As a result, he scored 47 games of 18 goals and 6 assists in 2017-18, helping Wolves succeed in the Super League, and officially transferred to Wolves for 14 million euros in the summer of 2018. In his career, Diogo Jota played for Wolves for three seasons, playing in 131 games and contributing 44 goals and 19 assists, not only helping Wolves advance to the Super League, but also allowing Wolves to gain a perfect foothold in the Premier League and become the big dark horse in the Premier League at that time. In the 2018-19 season, Wolves ranked seventh in the Premier League with 57 points in 38 rounds, and in the 2019-20 season, Wolves ranked seventh in 38 rounds with 59 points again, Diogo Jota made an indelible contribution.

On September 19, 2020, Diogo Jota officially left Wolves and joined Liverpool. His transfer left Wolves with a full 44.7 million euros. Compared with the 14 million euros when joining, the Wolves made a profit of more than 30 million euros in the Diogo-Jota deal, which also makes this deal a win-win situation!
