Joao Mario the 25 Jonathan David has been officially presented with the number 30 jersey: a choice he explained during the press conference "I chose the number 30 because it's my father's birthday". Joao Mário, on the other hand, opted for the 25, which recently belonged to Adrien Rabiot. 🔎 Modric takes 14! Ricci #4 and Estupiñán #2 Luka Modric has chosen the number 14 jersey, inherited from Reijnders, almost confirming the symbolic value of that number, and more. Although the number 10 has accompanied him for a long time, the Croatian had already worn the 14 during his time at Tottenham, between 2008 and 2012. Samuele Ricci opted for the number 4; the Ecuadorian Estupiñán will wear the number 2, inherited from Calabria. 🔎 Inter, Bonny N.13 and Pio Esposito N.94, Sucic and L. Henrique...

Luis Henrique has taken the N.11 while Sucic has chosen the N.8. 🔎 Napoli, KDB takes the 11! And the others? Kevin De Bruyne will wear the number 11 jersey at Napoli, despite the initial buzz about the number 10 appearing on training kits.

Lang, jersey number 70, then Beukema with the 31 and Marianucci with the 35. Meanwhile, Lucca has chosen the N.27, whose sum makes the number 9 ("since I couldn't take the 9..." he commented at the conference).

Immobile the 17 Federico Bernardeschi returns to Italy with Bologna, choosing the number 10 jersey, a symbol of centrality and a new key role, a number he also wore at Fiorentina. Ciro Immobile also makes his comeback in Serie A after his Turkish experience, and will wear his historic jersey, the number 17. Meanwhile, Vitik, replacing Beukema, takes the 41. 🔎 The new arrivals at Como? Rodriguez, Baturina... We don't know if they will be official or not, but during the Como Cup, the new additions of the Larians wore the following numbers: Jesus Rodriguez #17, Jayden Addai #42, Baturina #8, and Kühn #19. 🔎 The numbers of Colombo, Sulemana, and others Kamaldeen Sulemana, a new face at Atalanta, has chosen the number 7 jersey, an important legacy left by Teun Koopmeiners. In Turin, Aboukhlal will also wear the 7, while Ngonge has opted for his classic 26, a number linked to the day he was born. Colombo, presented in grand style by Genoa, confirms his historic 29 here as well, while Ostigard takes the 5. ❓ Those not yet official... Among the numbers yet to be made official, Edin Dzeko might choose the 9 at Fiorentina if Beltran leaves, but the 11 is also available. The 10 is impossible, now on Gudmundsson's shoulders. Camarda, associated with the 73, might continue with that number at Lecce, where it is available; the 9 of Krstovic, a possible departure, might also become available, while in friendlies he wore the 22. As for Folorunsho, following a decent end of the season at Fiorentina, he might aim for the usual #90, already worn in the past. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Liverpool join chase for £68m England forward
Liverpool are in the process of selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich. The Colombian moves to Bavaria for a fee of around £65m and there is currently uncertainty over how the club's sporting director Richard Hughes plans to replace him. The Reds have got plenty of left-wing cover in the shape of Cody Gakpo and teen sensation Rio Ngumoha. And that's before we factor in the presence of TWO new faces. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Florian Wirtz has been signed as a No10 but don't be surprised if Arne Slot opts to line the Germany international up from the left. Hugo Ekitike, meanwhile, is a striker by trade but is seen by club recruiters as a performer in the left-wing position. It has been suggested that instead of focussing on a like-for-like replacement for Diaz, Liverpool could channel his transfer proceeds into a deal for Alexander Isak. Liverpool still interested in Eze But another option is emerging in the shape of Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze. The 27-year-old is a capable player down the left side but comes with the added versatility to play on the right and even in attacking midfield. Eze, an England international, scored eight goals and made eight assists for Palace in the Premier League last season - catching the eye of Liverpool's recruitment staff. It's been reported in Caught Offside that Liverpool are now in the running to sign Eze - who has got a £68m release clause in his Palace contract. Eze's reported £68m clause He is under contract until 2027 but Palace would probably sanction a deal this summer so long as a replacement is sourced. Liverpool are by no means frontrunners for Eze, according to the report, with Arsenal keen on landing the former QPR star. Mikel Arteta's side are prepared to offer £38m up front and £30m over two years - the report claims. But Bayern, fresh from signing Diaz, could ALSO make a play for Eze and reunite him with former Palace teammate Michael Olise. © IMAGO - Eberechi Eze Liverpool Will Liverpool field Eze wide or central? Premier League clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have also been credited with interest. Bayern Munich are seriously considering a move, especially with the appeal of reuniting Eze with his former teammate Michael Olise. Liverpool's interest in Eze is intriguing. It will be fascinating to see whether the Reds see him as a midfielder or wide option. Either way, with Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott, Diaz and potentially Darwin Nunez leaving, it would be useful to have a player capable of performing well in a number of different attacking positions.
