Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will leave the club at the end
of the season, according to Sky sources, with Major League Soccer his
most likely destination.
Sky Sports News HQ understands Gerrard, who has spent his
entire career at Anfield after signing as an eight-year-old boy, is in
talks with Los Angeles Galaxy and the two New York clubs - City and Red
Bulls - over a move to the USA in the summer.
The 34-year-old's
current contract expires at the end of the season and he has been
embroiled in lengthy negotiations with the club over his future, but he
is also now free to discuss and sign a pre-contract agreement with
another club.
And it appears the former England captain, who has
skippered his boyhood club for over 11 years, has made a decision on his
future and will see out the end of his career abroad, with an official
announcement expected on Friday.
Both Liverpool and the MLS refused to deny the midfielder is in talks
with LA and the New York clubs, but the MLS did make sure to put on
record that Gerrard is "a world-class player and soccer fans throughout
the world have admired his talents for many years".
Clubs from the
Middle East and others in Europe have also reportedly shown interest in
a player who still believes he has much to offer after 695
appearances,180 goals and 11 major trophies for Liverpool. ...SkySports
