Liverpool are in talks with Steven Gerrard over a return to the club that would see him take the next steps in a career in coaching.

Gerrard will leave LA Galaxy when their season ends and manager Jurgen Klopp has paved the way for the former captain to rejoin the club he served with such distinction when he is ready.

The midfielder has not announced his retirement from playing as yet, while the exact role with Liverpool is still being discussed, but Gerrard has previously worked at academy level when starting his UEFA badges.

“Steven Gerrard – and this will be a really big surprise – is always so welcome at Liverpool,” said Klopp.

“Everything we will talk to each other about will stay in these talks. That is how I know Stevie and that is how I am.

“Nobody should be worried that we don’t have space for Steven Gerrard. Everything will be fine, 100 per cent.”

Gerrard left Anfield in 2015 after making over 700 appearances for the club.
