However, Garber has revealed that the league is trying to cut down on these switches as it looks to establish itself as a major worldwide division, with Gerrard likely to stay in California when the 2015 campaign comes to a close:
“It doesn’t happen as much as it used to. David 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.” He is quoted by the Daily Star.
“People in our country said: ‘What? He plays for two teams?’ You are trying to build a sport. It was a challenge getting people to understand that.
“I don’t believe we are going to see many more off-season loans happening in our league particularly by what I would call the high level designated players.
“It’s been a couple of years. I don’t remember the last one we have had. With regards to Steven, I don’t think so. I have not heard that was something that was being contemplated.”
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.
