It seems that the incredible triumph in last season's UEFA Champions League, neither the bright club prospects, nor the offered huge money, will not convince England national team star Steven Gerrard to stay in the club.
Rumors that S.Gerrard will leave Liverpool, where he started his career in 1998 as a teenager, were confirmed on Tuesday, when the Englishman himself announced his intention to leave the Liverpool club. The player made this decision by rejecting an offer of £100,000 per week.
Last summer, S.Gerrard was close to moving to Roman Abramovich's London club, but then the decision of the Englishman to stay in Liverpool was heavily influenced by the arrival of the Spanish coach Rafael Benitez.
After last season's UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul, where Liverpool impressively defeated AC Milan in a penalty shootout, the author of the first goal, S.Gerrard, didn't even consider the possibility of leaving his beloved club: "How could I leave after such a night?"
However, just a month and a half has passed, and S.Gerrard, feeling that he is not receiving enough respect from the club management, seems to be planning to leave the club, which he considers to be his soul.
