Liverpool have officially announced their squad numbers for the 2025/26 season, confirming several changes following recent departures and the arrival of high-profile summer signings.
Naija News reports that the update, released on Friday via the club’s official website, detailed the shirt numbers chosen by the Reds’ seven new arrivals and noted changes for a few existing players.
German sensation Florian Wirtz, who joined the English Premier League (EPL) champions this summer, has been handed the prestigious No. 7 jersey.
The shirt, once worn by Liverpool legends such as Kenny Dalglish and Luis Suarez, became vacant after Luis Díaz’s departure to Bayern Munich earlier this week.
Other major signings also received their squad numbers:
- Milos Kerkez will wear No. 6
- Jeremie Frimpong takes No. 30, the same number he wore at Bayer Leverkusen
- Hugo Ekitike has been assigned No. 22
Goalkeepers and Squad Updates
- In the goalkeeping department:
- Giorgi Mamardashvili is the new No. 25
- Freddie Woodman takes No. 28
- Armin Pecsi will don No. 41
Naija News understands that existing squad members Conor Bradley and Trey Nyoni have opted for new numbers, switching to No. 12 and No. 42, respectively.
The squad number reshuffle comes as Liverpool continue their pre-season preparations under manager Arne Slot, ahead of their Community Shield clash against Crystal Palace next Sunday.
The club will also play friendlies against Athletic Club as part of their build-up to defending their Premier League title.
