Although Londoner made a record £32 million offer for the England national team's safety Steven Gerrard, last season's UEFA Champions League winners rejected it.
So far, the record transfer amount in England has been £29.1 million, which Manchester United paid to Leeds United for defender Rio Ferdinand.
It is said that in response to this offer, Liverpool has increased the new contract offer for S. Gerrard even more. Despite rejecting multiple offers in the past, Liverpool's beloved player has recently been offered a new contract until 2009. According to it, S. Gerrard would receive a weekly salary of £100,000.
Although Liverpool strategist R. Benitez stated that S. Gerrard could stay at Liverpool until the end of his career and later possibly become the club's head coach, the Englishman is not rushing to accept the new offer.
It is also said that Madrid is also interested in S. Gerrard.
