Toughest decision of my life, says Steven Gerrard
Liverpool legend to leave the only club he has played for and there is speculation he may chase a lucrative deal in Major League Soccer in America

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says his move to leave the club at the end of the season and head abroad was the “toughest decision of my life”.
The 34-year-old midfielder has captained the Reds for 12 years and never played for another club.
“I’m going to carry on playing and although I can’t confirm at this stage where that will be, I can say it will be somewhere that means I won’t be playing for a competing club and will not therefore be lining up against Liverpool – that is something I could never contemplate,” Gerrard told the club’s official website.
I always knew he was going to be a star. I’ve been watching Liverpool for 50 years and he is the best player I have ever seen
Gerrard is out of contract at the end of the season and the English media have speculated that he could move to the United States to play in Major League Soccer, possibly with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
And there are also rumours that he might take a coaching role at Anfield in the future. The former England captain said: “It is my sincere hope and wish that one day I can return to serve Liverpool again, in whatever capacity best helps the club.”
Gerrard lifted the Champions League trophy after an unforgettable comeback against AC Milan in 2005, but coveted successes elsewhere have eluded him.
Although he has won two FA Cups, three League Cups and the Uefa Cup, among other honours, he has never laid his hands on the Premier League trophy and met with nothing but heartbreak in his 14 years with England.
