Liverpool buyout will mean new stadium

RAFAEL BENITEZ is excited at the prospect of Liverpool having a new home, providing they maintain the special Anfield atmosphere.

The prospect of the club moving into a state-of-the art stadium moved a step closer this week.

Liverpool have given exclusive rights to Dubai International Capital (DIC) — a firm owned by the wealthy Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai — to inspect Liverpool’s accounts as part of an anticipated £450 million buy-out.
