Owen: Liverpool have wanted Gerrard since 2013

Steven Gerrad left Liverpool at the end of the 2014/15 season. However, according to his former teammate Michael Owen, the club wanted him to go two seasons earlier. However, at that time, the Reds leadership was still considering its place in the team.
Gerrard is considered unable to compete at the highest level after his poor performance at the 2014 World Cup. However, management decided to keep it one season later. Owen said the club did not have enough courage to let it go.

Finally, towards the end of the 2014/15 season, Gerarrd announced that he would join the Los Angeles Galaxy the following season. That's when 17 years with the Children's Club have to end.

"I'm not sure Stevie was really released in 2015 as planned, and from what I've heard, he wanted to be excluded two seasons before, but at that time someone was caught in a trap assuming that the player was always bigger than his club," said Owen in his book Reebot, quoted by SkySports.

Owen has indeed become the final subject of discussion in his book. Some time ago, he was involved in a fight with Alan Shearer, a former England striker. He mentioned the regret of joining Newcastle United in 2005.

"I'm sure Stevie is deliberately planning to approach the opportunity to join the club coach, regardless of whether you play less often there," he said. .
