Liverpool Turn To Manchester City Ace To Replace Gerrard
Liverpool have turned their attention to James Milner as they look to recruit a replacement for Steven Gerrard.
åÊ
Milner is out of contract at Manchester City at the end of the season and could be tempted to make a switch to Liverpool for regular football.
åÊ
Although rated highly at the Etihad Stadium, manager Manuel Pellegrini regards the 29-year-old as a squad player due to his versatility.
åÊ
In recent weeks, the Chilean has even played Milner as a striker following injuries to Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko.
åÊ
But midfield is where Milner’s main strengths are, and Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants to land the tireless worker on a free in the summer, according to the Metro.
åÊ
Rodgers will need options with his skipper Gerrard set to end his illustrious career at Liverpool, which began back in 1998.
åÊ
The 34-year-old has confirmed he will join LA Galaxy in the MLS when the season ends.
