<p data-start="90" data-end="311"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Liverpool Football Club has announced plans to install a permanent memorial sculpture at Anfield in memory of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, following their tragic passing earlier this month.</span></p>
<p data-start="313" data-end="686"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">In an emotional statement, the club expressed heartfelt gratitude to supporters from around the world who have gathered at Anfield over the past weeks, turning a dedicated tribute area into a space of collective mourning. Thousands of fans left flowers, scarves, artworks, handwritten notes, jerseys including those from rival teams in a powerful display of solidarity.</span></p>
<p data-start="688" data-end="845"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Liverpool confirmed that Diogo Jota's iconic number 20 shirt will be permanently retired at all levels of the club, including the women's and academy squads.</span></p>
<p data-start="847" data-end="1281"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">To honour the legacy of the brothers, the items from the tribute site are being carefully collected and preserved. Organic offerings such as flowers will be composted and used in flower beds across key club sites including Anfield, the AXA Training Centre, and the AXA Melwood Training Centre. Non-organic tributes will be recycled and used in the creation of a permanent sculpture that will serve as a lasting tribute to the players.</span></p>
<p data-start="1283" data-end="1424"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Until the memorial is completed, a temporary reflection area has been established at Anfield to allow fans to continue paying their respects.</span></p>
<p data-start="1426" data-end="1810" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Additional tributes are scheduled throughout Liverpool&rsquo;s pre-season fixtures, with a floral display before kick-off and custom shirt patches featured during the club&rsquo;s Asia tour. A special commemoration will also take place during Liverpool&rsquo;s first home Premier League game against AFC Bournemouth on August 15, including a minute&rsquo;s silence and a fan mosaic in memory of the brothers.</span></p>
