Liverpool have bought back their old Melwood training centre.

The Reds sold the grounds three years ago, but have now repurchased it for £13m, says the Liverpool Echo.

The centre will house the womens team.

Liverpool managing director Andy Hughes said: “This is a truly historic moment for Liverpool Football Club and the continued desire of the LFC Women's Board to elevate and develop our Women's first team and Category One Professional Game Academy.

“Now is the right time to make this move and we're absolutely delighted that we've managed to take this opportunity to return to Melwood and to see it start a new chapter of Liverpool's commitment to our women's first team and academy.

“We also have an opportunity to further develop the use of the site to support the local community by using it as an additional base for [the] LFC Foundation. We are delighted that FEFA will continue to use the site for its college that provides sport and educational opportunities for young people."
