Liverpool have submitted a planning application to turn their Melwood training facility into housing.
In February, the club confirmed plans to move their first-team training base to Kirkby, where the academy is housed.
They have now applied to Liverpool City Council for outline planning permission to redevelop Melwood, providing up to 160 new homes.
A club statement said: "The application forms part of the club's plans to bring LFC's first team and academy football training operations and facilities together on one site in Kirkby.
"LFC recognises that Melwood has played a significant role in the club's history, but the site is limited in terms of space and is unable to accommodate the club's ambitions for a new first-class combined training facility.
