![]() With a year left on his current deal beyond this season, speculation has already started as to the possibility of Reds skipper Gerrard signing up to a further extension. Rodgers today refused to disclose whether talks have already started with Gerrard about a new contract, stating it is "private between Steven, I and the club". Rodgers has, however, made it clear he wants Gerrard - who turns 33 at the end of next month - to stay on at Anfield. With Gerrard now approaching 15 years' service as a professional with Liverpool, Rodgers said: "He's 32 years and super fit at the moment. He's played every minute of every (Premier League) game. "We've worked very hard on his individual plan to make him as fit as he possibly can be, and the rest has been down to him really. "It's about his responsibility on the field, how he manages himself off it. He's been first class, and as a captain he's been brilliant this year. "So he's 32, 33 in May, and I still see another three to five years left in him yet as long as everything holds up with his body, which this year has been nigh-on perfect. "So that (a new contract) is something we will sort out in due course." Rodgers has no doubts he can envisage Gerrard playing at the highest level through to the age of 37 or 38. "Why not?" said Rodgers. "He's a brilliant professional. "Look at the likes of (Javier) Zanetti at Inter Milan (currently 39) and (Andrea) Pirlo (currently 33) who are still talked about as top European players. "Steven currently is that at the moment, and I can see him being that for the next number of years. "As I've said, he's had a fantastic season this season up until now and he wants to finish it strongly. "His priority is always Liverpool, which is real humbleness from the guy. He is more worried about the football club than himself. "I, as a manager, want to make sure he stays here because he's very, very important for what I want to do." |

Gerrard is such a top footballer, really is. Liverpool need to sign a Javi Martinez type if they want to get the most out of Gerrard and prolong his career. |

Yea he has been so fucking good this season. We are still using him too much for my likling. He doesn't have the midfield around him to help him enough but he has only ever once had that when Mascherano and Alonso were available. Our possession football will help him so much over the coming seasons though |

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has revealed he could join another club if he is not offered a new contract. The 34-year-old, who joined Liverpool's youth academy at the age of nine, ruled out the possibility of retirement when his current deal expires in May. "I won't be retiring this summer. I will play beyond this season," the midfielder said. "We will have to wait and see if that's at Liverpool or somewhere else. That's Liverpool's decision." |

A big pay day which will simultaneously raise the profile of the club globally. I'm thinking PSG. Similar to Becks stint there. |

I don't think Gerrard quite has the pulling power to raise a profile of a club outside of England. I doubt he's even considered a big name in football outside of the Prem tbh. Had the chance to be a global superstar when Madrid came knocking but he fluffed it. Never won the PL, non existent in the CL for a long time, poor on the international stage. Great player in the PL but nothing more. Shame, he could have gone a lot further |

Hope he stays at Liverpool for as long as possible. As Tej rightly says, he doesn't have the pulling power of a Beckham type player, he couldn't move to PSG on reputation alone. Beckham still had plenty to offer a side as well, unlike Gerrard. |

Rodgers will offer him a new contract like the average one dimensional manager that he is. I bet he lives off of the 2013/2014 season for the rest of his career |
