Rafa to lose a pivotal player?

The English squad should be focussing on the task ahead for the World Cup but it is inevitable that club issues will be in some players minds.

The past season has been a terrible year for Liverpool and Stevie Gerrard has suffered more than most. Being a Liverpudlian, he knows how the Liverpool fans feel and the stress of a poor season will be weighing on his mind.

There is growing talk that the midfielders relations with boss Rafa Benitez has become strained and a parting of the ways may be looming.

There will be no shortage of clubs interested in Gerrard but you have to wonder where he will be likely to end up? Chelsea were strongly rumoured to be interested in the player a few years back but Gerrard decided to stay at Anfield in the hope of Liverpool regaining the league title.

Whether Chelsea are still interested in the player or Gerrard fancies a move to London remains to be seen.

If there is a top class player on the market, you know that Manchester City will be interested and they could certainly afford the fee Liverpool would want but would Gerrard want to go to City?

A move to Manchester, with the rivalries between Liverpool and Manchester may not make this switch too appealing to the player so you could probably rule that out.

Therefore, a move abroad could be of interest to Gerrard but with Barcelona talking about bringing Cesc Fabregas back to the Camp Nou, you can’t think the Catalan club would have an interest.

Real Madrid may be looking for a new boss again and if the rumours about Jose Mourinho are true, his knowledge and admiration for the player may see a bid coming from the Spanish capital.

Do you think Gerrard will be saying adios to Anfield this summer?
