Liverpool
midfielder Steven Gerrard could make a return from Major Soccer League side on
loan, according to chief executive Ian Ayre.

Steven Gerrard has agreed to join Los Angeles Galaxy in the summer after
failing to sign a new deal at his boy hood club.
The
Englishman whose contract expires at the end of this season will follow the footsteps of
his former England teammate David Beckham.
The
34-year-old veteran who announced his retirement from international football will
leave the club after serving for 25 years.
Ayre
said: “The fact he's leaving doesn't mean
it's the last we'll see of him at Liverpool.”
According
to Ayre, his departure does not mean a lifetime departure, he can rejoin any time. He
also told that loan move is not an impossible thing, he can come on loan and
can enjoy his Anfield days once again.
Ayre
told Liverpool radio station City Talk: “It
happens a lot in MLS [Major League Soccer], and it's something we talked to
Steven and his representatives about.”
“The details aren't known yet, but we
will keep a regular dialogue with him and I hope we will see him here again in
the long term.”
However,
Galaxy president Chris Klein has previously said that Gerrard’s loan move as
never been discussed and his focus will be on MLS side.
Klein
told BBC: “Gerrard's focus will be LA
Galaxy.”
Gerrard
who was debuted in 1998 has scored 182 goals in 697 appearances for the Reds. He
has won many trophies including Champions League but is yet to lift a Premier League
title.
