Wirtz took the number 58 during the team's Asian tour, but has now been given the coveted number 7. The number 7 shirt is one of the most prestigious in the club, and Wirtz is the latest player to wear it.
Other new signings have also been assigned numbers. Hugo Ekitike will wear the number 22, while Milos Kerkez will wear the number 6. Jeremie Frimpong will wear the number 30. Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will act as backup to Alisson, will wear the number 25. Fellow new keepers Freddie Woodman and Armin Pecsi will wear the numbers 28 and 41 respectively.
