Luis Diaz will wear Liverpool’s iconic number seven shirt next season.
The Colombian forward previously played in the no.23 shirt worn by Robbie Fowler and Jamie Carragher following his arrival from Porto last year.
But James Milner’s departure to Brighton has freed up the legendary digit graced by the likes of Sir Kenny Dalglish, Kevin Keegan and Luis Suarez.
Diaz personally requested the no.7 shirt this summer to match the one which he has consistently worn when representing his country on international duty.
For fans who already bought the Reds’ new home kit with the 26-year-old’s previous number will be allowed to replace it with the up-to-date figure.
“Supporters who have already purchased the 2023-24 replica home jersey printed with the name ‘Luis Diaz‘ and the number ’23’ on will be personally reimbursed by the attacker with a like-for-like exchange for a ‘Luis Diaz 7′ shirt,” Liverpool confirmed on Monday.
“The exchange only applies to all ‘Luis Diaz 23′ 2023-24 home shirts or kits purchased in official club retail outlets, via the official LFC online store or LFC Retail app.
“Any qualifying shirts or kit must be returned with proof of purchase by 11.59pm BST on July 31, 2023. Full terms and conditions are available here.
“Any ‘Luiz Diaz 23’ shirts and kit exchanged will be retained by the club and donated to LFC Foundation.”
