Pellegrini targets Gerrard for Hebei China Fortune

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is being offered a lucrative move to China.

The Sun says Manuel Pellegrini is interested in taking him to the Far East and making him among the best paid in the Chinese Super League.

Ex-Manchester City boss Pell is now at Hebei China Fortune and is a huge admirer of Gerro after facing him in the Premier League.

Other clubs are expected to join the race and offer the ex-England captain wages upward of £200,000-a-week.

Gerrard, 36, had two seasons at LA Galaxy after leaving Anfield – and his ex-club's popularity in China makes him one of the most sought-after players for their league.
