Liverpool to move into new Kirkby training base next month | OneFootball

Liverpool are set to move into their new Kirkby training base next month.

The Daily Mail says the Reds were due to make the switch at the end of last season but delays to construction, caused by coronavirus and social distancing measures, held up the move.

The club sold Melwood for £10m but ensured they had the option to stay for the 2020-2021 campaign in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp approved the decision to make the move mid-season with the manager keen for it to happen during the next international break, reports the Athletic.

That could mean Liverpool's hotly anticipated clash against Premier League title rivals Manchester City on November 8 will be the final game where preparations take place at Melwood.

Liverpool announced their intention to move to Kirkby, where the academy are currently based, in 2017 with Klopp feeling constrained by the lack of space at their historic Melwood training ground.
