Brendan Rodgers: 'No contract offer for Steven Gerrard'

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers denies reports that captain Steven Gerrard is set to sign a new contract at the club, saying that there is too long left on his current contract to begin discussions.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has denied reports that captain Steven Gerrard is set to be offered a new contract at the club.

Gerrard has played every minute of Liverpool's 18 Premier League games so far this season, prompting rumours that the 32-year-old stalwart is close to extending his stay with the club.

However, Rodgers believes that there is still too long on his current contract, which finishes at the end of next season, to begin talks of a renewal, although he revealed that he would look at it closer to the time.

"I've seen some stuff about Steven being offered a new contract but that hasn't been the case. He still has 18 months or so on his deal but there is no doubt come the end of that he is still going to be in great condition," said Rodgers.

"He is 32 now and you saw at the weekend his brilliant performance. He is playing a slightly different role in this team in terms of responsibility because he has a lot of younger talents around him.

"He hasn't scored nearly the number of goals he has in previous years but there are a number of reasons for that, but it is certainly not because of his quality. I really believe once that contract is up we'll sit down and look to extend that."

Gerrard has scored 153 goals in 609 appearances for Liverpool since making his debut back in 1998.
