Liverpool planning Gerrard friendly with LA Galaxy

Liverpool are set to return to the USA this coming summer.


Reds chief executive Ian Ayre has revealed that the Merseyside giants will head Stateside where they may even take on former captain Steven Gerrard's LA Galaxy in a pre-season friendly.

"Absolutely, that's something we have on our radar of ideas," he told BBC Sport.

"Steven is back in Liverpool at the moment and I'm sure we'll get a chance to catch up and see what he thinks about that as an idea.

"It's brilliant we have Steven in the US market, he's been such a great servant to Liverpool and for him to be here - hopefully telling people how great the club is, if they don't already know.

"That can only be good for us."

Liverpool, owned by US sports company Fenway Sports Group, last toured the US in 2014 when they played matches in Boston, New York, Chicago, Charlotte and Miami.
