Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard’s future looks increasingly uncertain as discussions over a new contract drag on.
Fears are growing at Anfield that the Kop legend’s career at the club is drawing to a close, with the American owners unwilling to match the 34-year-old’s current £140,000-per-week contract. The former England captain’s deal expires in the summer, when he could leave on a free transfer.
Gerrard came on as a 75th-minute substitute in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Stoke City, the 16th anniversary of his debut. He is believed to be open to offers from January when he can hold talks with overseas clubs. A cut in wages is likely to be a significant factor in whether Liverpool and Gerrard can agree fresh terms.
