Liverpool Confirm Florian Wirtz as No.7 for 2025/26 Season

Liverpool have assigned the iconic No. 7 shirt to new signing Florian Wirtz for the 2025/26 season following Luis Diaz's transfer to Bayern Munich. Wirtz, who joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for around £100 million, was initially rumored to want the No. 10 shirt but publicly denied these claims, showing respect for current holder Alexis Mac Allister. Alongside Wirtz, other new signings such as Milos Kerkez (No. 6), Jeremie Frimpong (No. 30), and Hugo Ekitike (No. 22) have also been allocated squad numbers. Diaz, who recently moved to Bayern Munich for £65.5 million, had spoken positively about the Bundesliga's intensity, influenced by Wirtz's insights. Liverpool fans have welcomed Wirtz taking the No. 7 jersey, a number historically worn by club legends including Kenny Dalglish, Luis Suarez, and Steve McManaman. Additionally, some existing players like Conor Bradley and Trey Nyoni have changed their shirt numbers ahead of the new season.
