Steven Gerrard to Quit Liverpool after this season

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has confirmed he will leave the club at the end of this season. The Reds midfielder is said to have informed the club of his decision not to sign a new deal and now this is official. Gerrard will seek a new club when his contract expires in June. LA galaxy MLS side looks certain to grab Gerrard after the end of the season.

Gerrard has won ten trophies at Anfield including the UEFA Champions League in 2005 and made 695 appearances in 17 seasons with a total of 180 goals to date since joining the club’s youth system.

An official statement from the player was released on the Liverpool’s official site to confirm the news. Gerrard Said ​”This has been the toughest decision of my life and one which both me and my family have agonised over for a good deal of time. I’m going to carry on playing and although I can’t confirm at this stage where that will be, I can say it will be somewhere that means I won’t be playing for a competing club and will not therefore be lining up against Liverpool – that is something I could never contemplate.”
