According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool might face the MLS Stars in the All Star Game in Toronto. The match would also please club sponsor Carlsberg, which backs Toronto FC, the side who enjoyed a commercially successful first season in the MLS this year, selling out every home game at their 20,000-seat BMO Field.
But the most interesting developments may come in Montreal, where Liverpool co-owner George Gillett Jr. already owns the Canadiens ice hockey team.
In his recent 'state of the soccer union' address, MLS commissioner Don Garber said Montreal was a leading candidate to be the one of the league's next expansion franchises.
The word is that Liverpool are also being lined up for a prestige friendly in the city's Olympic Stadium, possibly against Juventus, an event which would test the locals' appetite.
Avram Grant will make £15 million-rated Nicolas Anelka his top target when the transfer window opens in January.
