A Liverpool without Gerrard is an almost unimaginable phenomenon, Gerrard’s influence might be waning, but he is still a key member of the squad and played a big part in helping them finish second in last season’s Premier League title race.
Here are five possible career moves from the former England skipper:
Stick With Liverpool
Gerrard has remained loyal to his boyhood club for his entire career, despite plenty of transfer speculation over the years, and the general consensus appears to be that if he is offered a realistic new deal, then he will accept it. Gerrard has made no secret of his desperation to win the Premier League title, and having come so close last season, he may will have been convinced to keep trying.
The question is, do Liverpool want to keep him? Opposition teams have certainly began to ‘work out’ how to cope with him sitting in the holding role, and perhaps the Reds could do worse than be without his big wages. Any extension will likely require a drop in his demands, and it will come down to whether the club and player can agree on a figure.
