Steven Gerrard reveals Liverpool exit regret, claiming 'I'd have put up with four to five months of Brendan Rodgers to get six months with Jurgen Klopp'

Steven Gerrard has revealed his regret at leaving Liverpool months before Jurgen Klopp came in at Anfield and revolutionised the club.

Gerrard was offered a one-year contract extension by the Reds for the 2015-16 season, but turned it down in favour of MLS side LA Galaxy, after Liverpool's manager at the time, Brendan Rodgers, told him that his playing time would be reduced in the forthcoming season.

But with the benefit of hindsight, Gerrard, 43, has said that he wished he could have stayed at Liverpool a season longer, and worked with Klopp, who came in four days after Rodgers was sacked from his post in October 2015.
