Rodgers confirms Liverpool new contract offer to Gerrard

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that captain Steven Gerrard has been offered a contract extension by the club.

The midfielder, who was left out of the starting line-up at the weekend, has just seven months to run on his current deal. Rodgers says his skipper needs time to mull over the deal on offer, but says money is not the issue.

"The latest is he has been offered a contract here and at this moment in time that is where it is at," said the Reds boss.

"There are probably many things Steven would have to think about in a decision like this but it certainly won't be money.

"I have spoken to him often enough and at length and that won't be the case.

"Between now and the end of the season he deserves that opportunity to have a think of where it is at but one thing is clear, I love working with Steven Gerrard."
