Liverpool captain Gerrard's LA Galaxy deal to be confirmed today

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard's move to LA Galaxy is expected to be finalised today.

The Daily Mail says Gerrard's move to LA Galaxy will be finalised in the next 24 hours.

The 34-year-old Liverpool captain has agreed an 18-month contract, worth £3.9million a year, to move to California and will start playing in the MLS when their mid-season transfer window opens in July.

Gerrard revealed he had turned down offers from clubs in the Barclays Premier League, Europe and the Middle East.

Such is Gerrard's quality, though, his availability alerted a number of clubs, with Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, for one, expressing his admiration.

But Gerrard said: 'I had a lot of offers - domestically, from Europe, Asia and America.

"When I decided the time was right to leave Liverpool, I knew straight away I wouldn't ever sign for another domestic club or anyone in Europe."
