Revealed: Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard rejected offer from Tottenham to join LA Galaxy
Liverpool legend revealed he rejected an offer from Tottenham to join LA Galaxy
STEVEN GERRARD revealed he rejected offers from several clubs including Tottenham to join LA Galaxy from Liverpool.
 
The Anfield legend also confirmed he had offers from Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, Besiktas and David Moyes' Real Sociedad - according to the Daily Mail
Gerrard, who spent 18 years at his boyhood club, chose the MLS side over Tottenham to avoid facing Liverpool. 
 
“A few English clubs called but I wouldn’t play against Liverpool,” Gerrard said. 
“There was interest from Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino. 
“It was good to know he still rated me. I was sure I could play in the Premier League for another year but there would not have been much of a buzz doing the same thing all over again with Tottenham. 
 
“The first offer came from Besiktas, then managed by Slaven Bilic. Monaco were next. They came in strong. Paris Saint-Germain were also very keen. 
“David Moyes called my agent a couple of times, to see whether I would be interested in playing for him at Real Sociedad.”
The 35-year-old admitted he would've stayed at Liverpool rather than making the move Stateside if he was offered a coaching role by Brendan Rodgers, but chose to sign for Galaxy on an 18-month deal.
