Gerrard to leave Liverpool in summer

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season. Gerrard, 34, became free to sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas team on Thursday and is believed to be wanted by clubs in the United States.
The former England skipper, who made his Liverpool debut in 1998, will not move to another English club. Liverpool offered midfielder Gerrard a new deal in November and will make a statement on his future on Friday.
