In a statement on their official website the club confirmed the switch will be active from the 1st August ahead of the 25/26 season, which the Reds will be hoping to start as defending Premier League champions.

Billy Hogan, chief executive officer at LFC, said: “Everyone at the club is incredibly excited to welcome adidas back into the LFC family. We have enjoyed fantastic success together in the past and created some of the most iconic LFC kits of all time.

“adidas and Liverpool share an ambition of success and we couldn’t be more excited to partner together again as we look forward to creating more incredible kits to help drive on-pitch performance. We’d like to thank Nike for their support over the last five years and wish them well for the future.”

Bjørn Gulden, chief executive officer at adidas, added: “We are extremely excited that adidas and Liverpool Football Club are teaming up once again. The club is one of the biggest and most iconic names in world football with a huge fan base.

“The jerseys worn during previous partnerships are some of the greatest ever created. We are honoured to once again provide the players with cutting-edge technology to perform at the highest level and are looking forward to creating more classics for the fans.

This deal brings to an end American company Nike's five year partnership with the Merseyside club.

It's not the first time however that adidas have partnered with Liverpool, having previously done so in two previous spells between 1985-96 and 2006-2012.
