LIVERPOOL could be named today as one of several clubs under investigation for possible breaches of financial fair play (FFP) rules.

Along with Monaco, Inter Milan and Roma, they are expected to be asked to provide further financial information to Uefa's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB).

All four clubs were absent from European competition last season but recently submitted their accounts to Uefa.

No financial sanctions will be imposed at this stage, but a provisional move to hold back Champions League cash is possible as a next step.

The CFCB will hold talks and ask the clubs for more info before making any decision.

Liverpool made a loss of almost £50million in season 2012-13 and over £40m for the 10-month period before that.

The Merseyside club will hope to avoid any sanctions by writing off a big chunk of losses as stadium expenditure.

Their 2011-12 accounts reported that £49.6m was associated with stadium costs, with £35m of that related to former Pool co-owner Tom Hick's aborted plan to build a new home ground in Stanley Park.

FFP rules say losses must be no more than £35.4m over the seasons 2011-12 and 2012-13 but they allow expenses on items like stadium costs to be written off.

Manchester City and Paris St Germain were hit hardest last season for breaching FFP rules.

They were each fined £49m and also restricted on transfer spending and the size of Champions League squads.
