Chelsea’s FIFA Club World Cup triumph in the United States has taken on a deeper meaning after it emerged that the squad will donate part of their victory bonus to the family of late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, Andr Silva.

The Blues stunned Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain with a 3-0 victory in the final at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on July 13, earning the club an estimated 84.4 million pounds in prize money. 

Of that amount, around 11.4 million was earmarked for player bonuses, with each member of Enzo Maresca’s squad receiving close to 400,000 pounds.
