Liverpool will build a permanent memorial at Anfield in honor of its former striker Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who died in a car crash in northwestern Spain last year.
The heart-shaped sculpture will be titled ‘Forever 20’ in reference to Jota’s squad number, which has been removed from the club at all levels, including the women’s and academy teams.
The memorial will also display Silva’s number 30 shirt when he played for Penafiel in the Portuguese second division.
“It will sit on a Granby Rock-faced stone plinth, laser engraved with a dedication to both brothers, and the plinth itself incorporates many of the physical tributes left at Anfield,” Liverpool said in a statement on Monday.
Jota helped Liverpool win the Premier League last season and won the FA Cup in 2022 and the League Cup in 2022 and 2024 with the Merseyside club, scoring 65 goals in 182 appearances.
Ahead of the 2026 Premier League season opener, Liverpool honored the Portuguese forward with a minute’s silence before kick-off against Bournemouth.
