Gerrard set for massive new deal
Quote:
Liverpool are set to celebrate reaching the Champions League final by making captain Steven Gerrard the highest-paid player in the Premiership.
Gerrard almost left Anfield in the summers of 2004 and 2005 and he will be offered a lucrative new deal to avoid a similar episode this year.
According to newspaper reports on Friday Liverpool's new American owners are prepared to pay the midfielder £120,000-a-week - £6million-a-year.
Gerrard still has two years to run on his current deal but the new contract will ensure the 26-year-old spends the rest of his career at his hometown club.
Owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks have also pledged to boss Rafael Benitez that Jamie Carragher and Xabi Alonso will be offered attractive new deals to secure their futures.
