Liverpool has released the squad’s official shirt numbers ahead of the 2025\/26 Premier League campaign, coinciding with the launch of their new adidas home and away kits. Among the notable changes, Florian Wirtz has been handed the prestigious No. 7 shirt, previously worn by club legends including Kenny Dalglish and Luis Su\u00e1rez. This number became available after Luis D\u00edaz’s transfer to Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
Hugo Ekitik\u00e9 will sport the No. 22 shirt this season. Historically, this number was assigned to reserve goalkeepers such as Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius but was worn by right back Calvin Ramsay during his two senior appearances since joining from Aberdeen in 2022.<\/p>\n
New acquisitions Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong will wear numbers 6 and 30, respectively. Giorgi Mamardashvili takes the No. 25 shirt, while Freddie Woodman has been assigned No. 28 following his free transfer to the club. Youth goalkeeper \u00c1rmin P\u00e9csi, signed from Pusk\u00e1s Akad\u00e9mia, will wear No. 41.<\/p>\n
Among existing squad members, Conor Bradley has moved up from the high number 84 to No. 12, stepping into a role left vacant by Trent Alexander-Arnold, marking the first time the No.12 shirt has been used since Joe Gomez in the 2021\u201322 season. Additionally, young midfielder Trey Nyoni has changed his number from 98 to 42.<\/p>\n
The new squad numbers mark a fresh start for Liverpool as they prepare for the challenges of the current season with a blend of experienced and emerging talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
