With a new manager and a new transfer window will inevitably come new signings for Liverpool. However, with so many youngsters making their debuts last season, there aren’t too many squad numbers left to pick from.
Last summer was all about Liverpool finding a new new defensive midfielder to play in the so-called ‘No. 6 role’.
However, when the Reds did sign one, Wataru Endo, he replaced Fabinho as the squad’s No. 3 due to Thiago still being at the club.
Now, with the Spaniard having departed, that No. 6 shirt is up for grabs should the Reds make a marquee signing in the position.
Joel Matip is the other player confirmed to be leaving, but his No. 32 won’t be grabbing the attention of newcomers to the club.
In numerical order, the next lowest figures available are 12, 14, 15 and 16, though we could soon see the No. 13 shirt vacated by Adrian.
In May, the third-choice goalkeeper announced his intention to return to his native Spain, to play in LaLiga, though we have since learnt of a new contract offer from Liverpool.
Among the other squad numbers that could open up due to players potentially leaving are No. 62 and No. 72.
The former belongs to Caoimhin Kelleher who has admitted he may have to leave to become first choice at a top club.
Meanwhile, No. 72 currently belongs to Sepp van den Berg who has spent the last three and a half years out on loan. This Is Anfield understands that Brentford and Southampton are interested, with Liverpool valuing him at £20 million.
