A statement on Liverpool's website read: "Fans who have already purchased new 2023-24 home and away jerseys printed with the name 'Darwin' and the number '27' will be personally reimbursed by Nunez with a like-for-like exchange for a 'Darwin 9' shirt." The exchange will only apply to all "Darwin 27" 2023/24 home and away shirts of kits that have been bought from the club's retail outlets and from the club's online store. The club have confirmed that any qualifying items must be returned with proof of purchase before 11.59pm on August 19. The shirts and kit that are returned will be donated to the LFC Foundation. Another Liverpool star, Luiz Diaz, made the same offer to fans after he changed his shirt number for the No.23 to the No.7. Nunez arrived at Anfield last summer after completing an £85million switch from Benfica . His debut campaign in England did not quite go to plan as he was sent off in his home debut. Nunez failed to be prolific during the season, but did manage to net 14 goals in all competitions in 40 appearances.){kind=link}
