GERRARD HAPPY TO SIGN

Liverpool midfielder and captain Steven Gerrard has said that he is looking forward to signing a new contract with Liverpool in the future. Steven Gerrard recently completed the signing of the contract, the details of which has not been revealed by Liverpool.

However, it is thought to have extended the stay for the England midfielder at Anfield to almost four years. Steven Gerrard will be turning 32 years of age in the summer, but there have been speculation that the England midfielder cannot produce the goods for long. It has been speculated due to the number of injuries he has suffered in the last couple of years at Liverpool.

Steven Gerrard came close to leaving Liverpool in 2005 after his head was turned and due to the interest from Premier League Champions Chelsea. It was rumoured that Steven Gerrard was offered a contract worth £ 120,000 per week, which would have made him the highest-paid player in all of England. However, the England midfielder decided to stay with Liverpool after prolonged transfer negotiations. Even though Steven Gerrard is a long way from breaking the club record of more than 600 appearances, he is thought to be very fit to carry on playing in the next couple of years.

“I’m hoping to play beyond the length of this contract. I’m feeling fit and strong and I want to play for as long as I can. I don’t want to put any time frame on it. As long as I feel good and I’m performing at the top level I’ll keep going,” Steven Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo. He also said that he is hoping that this is not the last contract he signs with Liverpool. Despite being 31 years old, this would come as a strong statement from any player.
