Ex Liverpool player, Steven Gerrard has come out to say that he wishes he had signed a new deal at Anfield under Klopp. Gerrard recently revealed that he actually regrets turning down the chance to sign a one-year extension before moving to the United States.
According to him, he called time on his Liverpool career too soon, and he would’ve loved to play for Klopp at the beginning of his hugely successful reign at the club.
Steven added that he had an amazing journey at Anfield, and he’ll always cherish his memories there for the rest of his life.
His words, “Looking back now, I wish I would have signed the final one-year contract I was offered by Liverpool because I would have had the opportunity to maybe have a small period of playing under Jurgen Klopp,”
“There is a wee tad of regret – and I say wee because I’m up in Scotland. I had a fantastic journey at Liverpool and the highs that club took me to are memories I will never forget and will always cherish and I think about them every single day.”
“At the same time, I had some moments that I have tried to move on from in terms of brutal lows, but I don’t want to always talk about the highs and lows. I want to look back on that journey with fondness because I lived my dream and I played for my local team and I achieved things I never dreamt of.”
“get asked that question a lot about Liverpool and I don’t really want to get involved with it because it’s not something for me to be concerned with,” Gerrard added. “I have got dreams of one day going down south and managing teams down there but I am in no rush, I haven’t got a date or a time.
“They have got a fantastic, world-class manager, they are on a real wave of success and as a fan that is an unbelievable place to be in and I am really proud of the club and the efforts of the last couple of years and I’m loving seeing Liverpool where they are right now.
“I need to focus on the job I’m in now which is a fantastic opportunity for me and a huge job.”
