"You'll never walk Alone"- Liverpool's slogan.
It's has been confirmed: Steven Gerrard to leave the club at the end of the 2014-2015 season. Captain 'loyalty' will walk alone abroad for new greener pasture. Gerrard is expected to join LA Galaxy amid interest from other MLS clubs.- writes David Anderson of Mirror Sports.
He will be offered 20million to join booming MLS in America. The 34 year-old made his debut for the Reds in November 1998, and has never looked back since then.
On Friday 2, Gerrard issued a statement on his decision to leave Liverpool Football Club. It reads as follows:

| Steven Gerrard |
"This has been the toughest decision of my life and one which both me and my family have agonized over for a good deal of time.
"I am making the announcement now so that the manager and the team are not distracted by stories or speculation about my future.
"Liverpool Football Club has been such a huge part of our lives for so long and saying goodbye is going to be difficult, but I feel it's something that's in the best interest of all involved, including my family and the club itself.
"I'm going to carry on playing and although I can't confirm at this stage where that will be, I can say it will be somewhere that means I won't be playing for a competing club and will not therefore be lining up against Liverpool-that is something I could never contemplate.
Gerrard made 695 appearance and scored 180 goals to date since joining the club's youth system aged eight. In 2001, he made his international debut for the England National Football team.
