Club will be led into battles and next season by team captain Steven Gerrard. One of the best football players on the planet changed his mind and decided to stay in the famous English band "The Beatles" city team.
Just yesterday, news flashed around the world's media that the defender rejected a new contract offer from "Liverpool" and should be sold. However, the player unexpectedly changed his mind and should put his signature on a new contract in a few days.
One of the most important roles in keeping the team captain was played by "Liverpool" CEO Rick Perry, who talked for a long time this night and early morning and finally convinced S.Gerrard that the club is eager to keep its captain.
The 25-year-old defender will sign a new contract soon, earning about 100 thousand pounds (504 thousand litas) per week.
"S.Gerrard realized how much this club means to him," said R. Perry. "It's reminiscent of past years, but this time everything happened even more dramatically."
Last summer, the team was almost agreed that one of England's leaders would come to play in London, but the football player decided at the last minute to stay in Liverpool. This decision was greatly influenced by the resounding victories brought to "Anfield" stadium last season by the coach from Spain, Rafael Benitez.
Although a few days ago "Liverpool" rejected a £32 million offer from the same "Chelsea" club, it was almost certain that S.Gerrard would head to the English capital. This was also indicated by the player himself, stating that he would probably move to play elsewhere. He even rejected the "Reds"' offer of £100,000, with which he now seems to agree.
"Yesterday I spent the whole day thinking," said S.Gerrard. "I turned off my phone and TV and reconsidered everything in my mind."
"I said I made mistakes, but the club admitted that too. Now everything has been resolved and now I can do what I always wanted - stay in the 'Liverpool' club."
Meanwhile, some "Reds" fans, after hearing S.Gerrard's comments, had already started burning their jerseys with the defender's name.
