The two players died almost a year ago in a car accident, and the English Premier League club announced the creation of the memorial on 11 May.

In a statement, the Reds say the statue will be called 'Forever 20', alluding to the shirt number worn by the Portuguese international at the club.

“At the centre will be a heart, in recognition of Diogo’s iconic celebration, and when viewed from different angles, it also reveals the numbers 20 and 30, which adorned the back of the brothers’ shirts,” reads the statement from Liverpool, which has already retired the number 20 shirt.

The sculpture will be placed on 97 Avenue, where the current memorial to the two Portuguese footballers is located, and will also feature the lyrics of the song dedicated to Diogo Jota, which Liverpool fans continue to sing 20 minutes into each match.

On 3 July, the 28-year-old Portuguese striker, who played for Liverpool in England, and his 25-year-old brother André Silva, who played for Penafiel, died in a car accident on the A52 in Cernadilla, Zamora, Spain.

Since Jota’s death, the Reds have been raising money through their foundation, which is intended to create youth football programs in the name of the Portuguese player and his brother.

Jota played 182 matches and scored 65 goals for Liverpool, winning one league title, one FA Cup, and one League Cup.
