Newcastle - The future of Liverpool's Steven Gerrard in the middle speculated following the lack of a new contract. However, Brendan Rodgers convinced the captain of 'The Red' was going to survive next season.

"We'll see if it's in Liverpool or elsewhere. It is the decision of Liverpool. If they do not come (and offered a new contract) then I have to see what's out there," he continued.
Gerrard's performance began to decline so the reason why Liverpool assessed should take it off. However, Rodgers as manager of the Reds another opinion and calling Gerrard is still needed by the team.
The man from Northern Ireland was also convinced that in the near Gerrard will soon sign a new contract.
"We spoke without preamble. I have met with the agent Steven about a week ago. I still want him to be part of the club and whatever we're doing today," Rodgers said after the game against Newcastle United which ended with the defeat of his team's scores 0-1.
"I have to convey this information to the owner of the club and I'm sure they had that year and immediately held a meeting with the agent Steven," he added as quoted by Soccerway.(detikSport)
