Liverpool FC confirm memorial sculpture for Diogo Jota, Andre Silva

Liverpool: Liverpool FC have announced plans for a permanent memorial sculpture at Anfield in honour of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, following their tragic passing earlier this month.

The club expressed deep gratitude to all supporters who have taken the time to pay tribute at the stadium, where thousands of items have been placed in recent weeks.

Since the news broke, a dedicated tribute area outside Anfield has become a powerful focal point for collective mourning. Fans and well-wishers from across the world contributed flowers, scarves, artworks, handwritten messages, banners and even jerseys from rival clubs. Members of the Liverpool first-team squad, staff and the brothers’ family have also paid their respects at the site.

The club confirmed that the number 20 shirt, worn by Diogo Jota, will be permanently retired across all levels of Liverpool FC, including the women’s and academy teams. IANS
