# Liverpool fans rage at price tag being set for Diogo Jota

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) supporters have raged at the news that the club have set a €70m (£62m) price tag for [Diogo Jota](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/diogo-jota/) amid interest from [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) rivals Newcastle United.**

### The Lowdown: Newcastle eyeing Jota

Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, Arthur Melo, James Milner, Adrian and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will all be [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/vertragsende/verein/31) at the end of the season, with the majority of them likely to be departing.

The Portuguese, however, is one new name to have recently been [linked](https://twitter.com/lfctransferroom/status/1633492834559901697?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA) with an exit after journalist [Jacque Talbot](https://twitter.com/jac_talbot) reported that the Magpies are considering a move for him in the summer.

### The Latest: Liverpool fans react…

Taking to Twitter, Liverpool lovers expressed their opinions on Jota potentially being sold to Newcastle and it’s fair to say they weren’t happy.

They said:

“*I’d be absolutely shocked if Klopp sold him!!!!!*” – [@Ac1984Ross](https://twitter.com/ac1984ross/status/1633504493806448641?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA)

“*After what John Henry said, we’re definitely selling him if we’re going to buy anyone in the summer. What a joke of a club.*” – [@AlexisManolis1](https://twitter.com/alexismanolis1/status/1633512150672056323?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA)

“*Selling him would be a very bad idea.*” – [@Babini\_R](https://twitter.com/babini_r/status/1633549369625509890?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA)

“*They can just stay away.*” – [@LfcMatthi](https://twitter.com/lfcmatthi/status/1633493150177132545?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA)

“*NOT A CHANCE!!!!*”- [@anfield\_buzz](https://twitter.com/anfield_buzz/status/1633514398445707272?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA)

“*Triple it. Saudi Arabia can pay state owned tax if they want to do business. Although in all seriousness I don’t think we should engage in any business with them. Why would we help a team that already has a massive financial advantage over every other team.*” – [@fatpanda72](https://twitter.com/fatpanda72/status/1633530619866275840?s=46&t=cVYwodEwJ5KqH22eIl4UYA)

### The Verdict: Don’t let him go

Jota has had a hugely positive impact at Liverpool since joining, posting [49](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/340950) goal contributions in 99 appearances, so it’s important that they do everything they can to keep hold of him.

FSG and [Jurgen Klopp](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jurgen-klopp/) are in a very strong negotiating position though with his contract not set to expire until [2027](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/vertragsende/verein/31/vertragsendeJahr/2027), so won’t be forced into sanctioning a sale.
