Liverpool to extend Steven Gerrard's contract

Everton v Liverpool - Premier League

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is ready to extend his Anfield reign. The 32-year-old England player has made the most appearances in this season than any other season in his career.

His records also boast of playing in every minute in every game till he was subbed with 20 minutes remaining at Newcastle last weekend. The commitment he has shown has led Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers to offer his captain a new contract, with Gerrard acknowledging a deal would be struck this summer.

“The talks have started and I think it is something that will get sorted at the end of the season – it’s not a stand-off or anything like that,” he explained.

“They want me to extend, I want to extend, and it’s just a matter of time, really. How long for I’m not too sure yet. That’s under discussion at the moment. But it will get sorted one or another probably in the summer.”

With Rodgers still believing that the skipper still has a lot left to contribute on the field, it is certain that he would be offered a new two-year contract in the summer. Gerrard’s present contract runs till the summer of 2014.
