Gerrard wants a return to Liverpool
With his contract at the MLS side ending at the end of the season, Gerrard has kept his options open for the future with Liverpool being his top priority. He said, "I will be going home at some point,” he said in May. “I'm really happy where I am at the moment. But I'm sure somewhere down the line I will represent Liverpool football club. I miss my friends and my family. I miss a bit of cold weather. I miss going to the games," the 36-year-old added.
Gerrard continued, "I spent 35 years in Liverpool. Liverpool's my home, it always will be. This is my second home for a short period of time. Sooner rather than later I will return to where I'm comfortable with my people and that's Liverpool."
The England international left Liverpool in 2015 after an illustrious career for the Reds and is considered to be one of the most iconic English players of recent times.
During his time in Merseyside, Steven Gerrard won a Champions League, two FA Cups, three League Cups, a UEFA Cup and a UEFA Super Cup as well as innumerable personal accolades.
He also scored nine times against Liverpool's next opponents, Manchester United in his career but was on the losing side 20 times out of 34. Liverpool currently sit fourth on the table whereas arch rivals, Manchester United sit in the sixth spot.
