"Liverpool" fans will once again be able to rejoice in seeing club legend Steven Gerrard belonging to the "Reds".
It is reported that the 36-year-old veteran, who announced this week his decision to leave the MLS team Los Angeles "Galaxy", is nearing an agreement with the leaders of the "Premier" league team.
However, the role of a backup in the team would probably not be significant - the focus is more on looking towards the future and possibly assigning Gerrard a role as one of the youth team coaches.
The Englishman has already discussed possibilities of developing the team's future with academy director Alex Inglethorpe.
It is said that Gerrard has received quite a few offers from other clubs, but it is doubtful he will choose them.
According to the media, the only headache for the player is whether to retire immediately or finish his career in a "Liverpool" jersey.
