Steven Gerrard has opened himself to a potential return to Liverpool after admitting he is considering extending his playing career.
Gerrard remains a fixture for LA Galaxy but is set to be out of contract at the beginning of November, advice a fortnight after the current MLS season ends.
The former England international has revealed that he would relish a return to Merseyside and trained at Melwood last year during the American off-season.
Galaxy are planning to open negotiations with Gerrard in the coming weeks and the 36-year-old has refused to discount hanging up his boots just yet.
“I’m wondering whether I should play on for a little bit longer or whether I should call it a day,” he told the Sunday Mirror.
“I haven’t 100 per cent decided on that yet. I still enjoy playing. I still love coming into training, I still love competing.
“If I can carry on and there are opportunities to stay here or go somewhere else for another six months or 12 months then I’ll consider it.
“But if nothing comes up I’ll try and fly through the coaching badges and see what happens down that road.
“Maybe it’s an obsession but I still love playing. I’m going to be a long time retired and so I still want to enjoy things while I’m still feeling good.”
