Liverpool are planning to leave Anfield.

The Daily Mail says Liverpool are now concentrating their efforts on financing a new stadium in Stanley Park, where they have planning permission, rather than redevelop Anfield.

American owners Fenway Sports Group had been keen to renovate the current ground like they did at their baseball franchise, the Boston Red Sox.

But property and land acquisition difficulties and other environmental problems have made a refurbishment highly unlikely. Liverpool are in talks with companies for a naming rights deal to help fund a new 60,000- capacity ground.
