Damien Comolli with John Henry
DAMIEN COMOLLI has revealed Liverpool are considering leaving their Melwood training ground to a new facility that would incorporate the Academy.
At present, while the first team trains at Melwood, the youngsters are based in their own separate home in Kirkby.
The Academy has come under increasing scrutiny given the scarcity of graduates to break through into the senior squad during the past decade.
And Comolli, Liverpool's recently-appointed director of football strategy, says he is in agreement with the club's new owner, John W Henry, that a training ground should be built to accommodate both.
“The first time I went to see the academy with John Henry we said it at pretty much the same time – it should be together,” said Comolli.
“We have discussed it and, in the long term, want to do something about it.
“Melwood is great but if you want to create a culture in the club you need a single entity, a single facility.
