Liverpool's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have completed the £350m refinancing deal to secure their Anfield future, BBC Sport understands.
The financial package is expected to help the duo repay money borrowed for their £218.9m takeover in March 2007.
It also means that the club can finally launch their long-awaited plan for a new stadium at Stanley Park.
BBC sports editor Mihir Bose said £60m of the package will provide the start-up money for the new ground.
He said: "Liverpool are very keen for the announcement of this package to be presented as a good news story from Anfield after weeks of strife."
The deal, which is expected to be announced on Friday, underlines the pair's determination to remain at Anfield despite interest from Dubai International Capital (DIC), the investment arm of the Dubai government.
Hicks will also feel he will be in a stronger position should he decide to sell in the future, dealing a blow to DIC's hopes of mounting a swift bid to take control of the club.
But Bose said: "I'm told by my sources in Dubai that DIC is still very keen and has been selling assets to make sure it has the necessary money.
"It was not keen on this re-financing because it feels it puts up the price of Liverpool. But DIC is still in the wings,and I wouldn't be surprised if something happens on that front, maybe not just now but in the next year or so."
Some Liverpool fans want DIC to bid after Hicks and Gillett angered them by admitting they had sounded out Jurgen Klinsmann as a possible replacement for manager Rafael Benitez, with whom they had a high-profile row.
A survey carried out by the Liverpool Supporters' network showed that 76% of 2,000 fans questioned said they would "seriously consider reducing their financial commitment to the club" if the current owners stayed in charge.
When asked to choose between the owners and the manager as to who had the best interest of the club at heart, 99% backed Benitez.
"The results of this survey are indicative of the strength of feeling among Liverpool fans that the club is very much in the wrong hands at present," said LSN spokesman Neil Atkinson.
"Tom Hicks and George Gillett are not trusted."
