Chelsea and Real Madrid have been linked with the England midfielder and Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti is keen on Gerrard too.

“Steven Gerrard is a great player. He is undoubtedly one of the best midfield players in the world,” Ancelotti told the Sunday Express.

“Of course any top club would want him in their side. I like him very much - he is a wonderful player.

“Right now he is a Liverpool player and I am not going to upset Liverpool by talking any more about him. But it will be different if he decides in the summer that he wants to leave Liverpool.”
