Diogo Jota SPEAKS OUT about possible Portuguese league return

Liverpool have always been on the hunt to find their clinical edge in attack and when Diogo Jota is on the pitch it seems they have found their answer.

Starting the season in good fitness, the Portuguese striker has notched four goals and two assists so far this season, across 623 minutes of football, spread over nine games in all competitions.

The 27-year-old has been at the club for four years now and despite battling numerous fitness issues throughout his stay on Merseyside he is considered by most to be Liverpool’s best striker.

Darwin Nunez has been competing with him for game time, but as he sits on the sidelines working on his end product, Jota has found immediate favour with Arne Slot.

Speaking ahead of Portugal’s UEFA Nations League game against Poland, as reported by Maisfutebol, Jota revealed he is comfortable at the club and has no ambitions of leaving anytime soon. However, he does intend to return to his homeland one day.

He said: “Returning to Portugal to win the league? It doesn’t make much sense at this stage, but I wouldn’t rule it out in the future.

“It will depend on the level I’m at at that point, it’s a combination of factors that have to come together for it to be possible, but yes, I would like to return, later on in my career.”

Diogo Jota at the heart of Liverpool’s deep attack

Jota is still contracted at Liverpool for two more seasons and a contract extension is not out of the possibility as the Reds endeavour to have a multi-faceted attack to help them challenge in every competition they play in.

And although he is open to a move back to Portugal at some point, it is unlikely the move will happen anytime soon.

He goes on to say that he feels confident that the best of his career is still to come as he strives to improve in training.

“I have been working since I became a professional to always be at the best level”, he added. “Each season that begins is a new opportunity to show my worth and that is what I am trying to do. I want it to last from the beginning to the end of the season”

While Arne Slot has given Jota the green light to lead Liverpool’s attack this season, Nunez has impressed when given the opportunity.

Both players will be heavily relied upon as the season progresses, but when Jota gets on a hot streak, Liverpool look like a very different prospect – long may it continue.

Thomas Clark

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.

Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.

Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
