Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp won't rule out a future return for Steven Gerrard.
LA Galaxy midfielder Gerrard is currently training with the Reds squad in a bid to stay fit during the MLS off-season.
Klopp insists Gerrard will not be returning for a loan spell while he prepares for the new MLS season.
"We spoke about many things but it's not for the public," he said.
"I'm an optimistic guy, but he has a contract. Definitely not a loan spell now, but we will do it if we can."
