LA Galaxy are already in advanced talks with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.

The Daily Mail says Gerrard is on the verge of agreeing a £3.9million deal to join LA Galaxy on an 18-month contract, according to reports from the US.

The Liverpool captain announced he would be leaving the club after 26 years at Anfield and has confirmed he will move to the MLS at the end of the season - with David Beckham's former club the clear favourites to sign him.

Negotiations are understood to be taking place that would see the former England captain join the defending MLS champions in July. The MLS Board of Governors are believed to have approved the deal because the league will pick up a $750,000 supplement from the Galaxy.
