Steven Gerrard has revealed that he has held talks with Liverpool chairman Tom Werner about a possible return to Anfield in the future.

The Reds skipper will join Los Angeles Galaxy on an 18-month contract in July but has made no secret of his desire to serve his boyhood club again.

Gerrard is currently taking his UEFA B coaching licence as he keep his options open for when he finally hangs up his boots.

“I don’t know at the moment what’s going to be there after America but I’ll certainly be coming back,” Gerrard said.

“I had a chat with Tom Werner and one recently with Brendan Rodgers about what I am thinking about, short-term and long-term.

“But there is certainly nothing in detail. I have started on the coaching ladder but we will have to wait and see.”

After Saturday’s final home appearance against Crystal Palace, Gerrard says his next trip to Anfield will be as a fan.

“It will be a different range of emotions but I think there is a nice side to that as well, being able to come to the game as a supporter – to not have any pressure on yourself and you can just watch the team and be part of the crowd,” he said,

“At the end of the day, underneath it all, I am a supporter. I always will be. If there isn’t a role, it certainly wouldn’t be the end of the world. I’ll be coming to support the lads like a normal punter.”

After carrying the hopes and dreams of the Kop for so long, Gerrard admits there will be a sense of release when he plays for the Galaxy without that pressure.

“I have been in the spotlight in this city, in this team, for 17 years and had some highs and some lows in that time,” he added.

“What some people don’t understand is sometimes it’s a tough place to live and be a player as well. So I think there will be a relief and a release in a couple of weeks.”

You gave your England career a “six or seven” out of 10. What would you give your Liverpool career?

I’m not going to judge my Liverpool career out of 10. But I can judge two performances for you. I’ll give Istanbul a nine and I’ll give the last Man United one at home a zero.

Best player you played with?

Luis Suarez

Your best goal?

On the eye, the FA Cup final in 2006. The most important, Istanbul.
