Liverpool need to snap up this Real Madrid star before he goes elsewhere
The 34-year-old – who jointly won the award alongside long-time international teammate Frank Lampard, who is also leaving for America in the summer – will be joining LA Galaxy at the end of the season, having spent the last 17 years in our first-team.
With the end of this campaign in sight, Gerrard has just five opportunities left to add to his staggering total of 500 Premier League appearances, a landmark he reached during Saturday’s goalless draw with West Brom at the Hawthorns. Along the way, he has managed to score 117 times.
However, according to journalist Henry Winter’s Twitter page, the skipper suggested that he may still have a future with our club beyond the next five games, as he would like to return and give something back to Merseyside again one day.
