Steven Gerrard has had a discussion with Jürgen Klopp about returning to the club to train at the end of the Major League Soccer season.

Klopp will honour the invitation that was offered to the midfielder by Brendan Rodgers, his predecessor as Liverpool manager. However, there has been no offer of a playing return for Gerrard, who made 710 appearances for Liverpool over 17 years before leaving in May to join LA Galaxy on an 18-month contract.

Gerrard is expected to honour that contract, which runs until the autumn of 2016. There has been no discussion of a loan deal, of the sort brokered to allow David Beckham to play for AC Milan during his time with Galaxy, or Thierry Henry to return to Arsenal
