It has been released by Liverpool's main sponsors, New Balance, but fans will not get to see their heroes play in it.

As it has not been registered as a fourth kit, it will be a purely commemorative addition for any fans of the Premier League outfit.

The shirt can be bought from the New Balance website from September 21.

It won't come cheap however. It has been listed for £90 by New Balance.

Although that price may be an issue for some fans, more pressing could be rumoured overseas interest in tone of their star players.

The Merseyside outfit are bracing themselves for another transfer tug of war as a host of European giants plot a swoop for Sadio Mane.

SunSport previously reported yesterday how the Barcelona have switched their attention to the Senegal star after missing out on team-mate Philippe Coutinho.

Liverpool’s summer transfer window was dominated by Barca’s pursuit of Brazilian Coutinho.

The playmaker handed in a transfer request as the Nou Camp giants lined him up as Neymar’s replacement.

However, the Reds stood firm despite intense pressure and keep hold of their talisman.

But now they are facing a fresh fight to hang onto his team-mate as Europe’s big guns begin to circle ahead of a potential swoop.

Losing Mane, who is currently serving a three-match ban for accidentally kicking Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson last week, would be a nightmare for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
