Liverpool have set aside cash to spend on a "huge-money January signing", sources have told Football Insider.

Owners Fenway Sports Group are willing to fund an A-list acquisition should Jurgen Klopp and the recruitment team source the right player.

Liverpool's most recently published accounts revealed assets of £160.7million, including £31m cash in the bank and £108.9m cash owed to them.

The Merseysiders are expected to announce club-record revenues for last season, when they chased the quadruple until the final week of the campaign of more than £550million.

The US-owned giants have subsequently spent £65m rising to £85m on Darwin Nunez, who joined in the summer, after already paying a potential £50m for Luis Diaz in January.

But those payouts, as well as deals for the likes of Fabio Carvalho, Calvin Ramsey and last-gasp loanee capture Arthur Melo, will not stop owners FSG from spending big in January.

It is believed that Jude Bellingham is a top target for Liverpool going into the new year and they are already laying the groundwork for what would be a potential club-record deal.

But the Merseysiders face extensive competition for the Borussia Dortmund sensation from the world's elite clubs and that race cold hot up even further if his outstanding form continues.

New figures released by the Premier League detail the TV payments to clubs for the 2021-22 campaign. Liverpool’s distribution was £152m, bettered only by the £153m earned by Man City.

The Merseysiders made an overall loss of £5m for 2020-21, a small figure compared to most Premier League clubs.
