Four of Liverpool’s most iconic squad numbers were up for grabs at the start of the summer following some high-profile Anfield exits.
Having seen the number 10 shirt left vacant following Sadio Mane’s decision to leave for pastures new at Bayern Munich last summer, the number seven, eight, and nine jerseys all became available after James Milner, Naby Keita, and Roberto Firmino all left the club following the expiration of their contracts.
With all four vital to the success Jurgen Klopp’s side have achieved over the past five years, the quartet were all members of the Reds side that won every major honour on offer them, ending Liverpool’s 30-year drought to be crowned champions of England, and were crowned world champions for the first time in the club’s history months after their 2019 Champions League win.
