Steven Gerrard is not expected to rejoin Liverpool on loan in January, the MLS Commissioner Don Garber has stated.
The 35-year-old left the Reds over the summer on a free transfer, ending a glittering career with his boyhood club to join LA Galaxy.
Speaking at the Soccerex convention in Manchester, Garber was asked about the possibility of Gerrard joining Liverpool on a temporary deal during the MLS off-season.
“I don’t think so. And I had not heard that was something that was being contemplated.” he said
“It doesn’t happen as much as it used to. David [Beckham] knows very well that I was really upset with the big hoopla and the massive commitment we made and then David went and played in Milan.
“And people in our country said: ‘What? He plays for two teams? And you are trying to build a sport.’
Such news is likely to come as a huge blow to many Liverpool fans, with Gerrard widely hailed as one of the club’s greatest ever players.
