Liverpool are set to agree a kit deal with American manufacturers Warrior Sports, which will net them a record-breaking £25million per year.
According to The Times, the Boston-based subsidiary of New Balance will produce the Reds' kits from the 2012/13 campaign, when Adidas' deal with the club is set to expire and will more than double their current £12million-a-year agreement with the sporting giant.
Adidas were offered the chance to retain the services of their most high-profile clients and match Warrior's offer but declined, paving the way for Liverpool to agree the biggest kit deal in English football which will trump Manchester United's annual £23.3million deal with Nike.
