Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The 34-year-old mid-fielder, whose contract expires in the summer, is expected to move to the United States and play for Los Angeles Galaxy.
“This has been the toughest decision of my life, one both me and my family have agonised over for a good deal of time,” said the ex-England midfielder.
He added he would continue to play but not for a potential rival as he could “never contemplate” facing Liverpool.
“I won’t be playing for a competing club and will not therefore be lining up against Liverpool.
“My decision is completely based on my wish to experience something different in my career and life and I also want to make sure that I have no regrets when my playing career is eventually over.
“From now until the last kick of the last game of the season, I will be as fully committed to the team as I ever have been and giving everything I have to help Liverpool win games.” he said.Gerrard joined Liverpool’s academy when he was nine years old, making his first-team debut as a substitute against Blackburn Rovers in November 1998.
He made 695 apperance for liverpool and scored 180 Goals.
