Liverpool have confirmed the repurchase of the club's former iconic training base Melwood with the women's side set to take the keys.
The Reds completed the move to the £50m AXA Training centre at the end of 2020 with the existing base sold to affordable housing trust Torus. A lease was then agreed with Liverpool legends Robbie Fowler and Jamie Carragher as it was turned into a sporting and educational facility.
The ECHO now reports Liverpool have completed the repurchase for around £13m with plans to also use the site for the club's foundation programmes, as well as for offering education to young people via the Fowler Education and Football Academy. Liverpool confirmed in a statement on Thursday they had been considering a number of alternative sites for their women's team in recent years and that Melwood is the perfect fit.
