Rangers boss Steven Gerrard believes former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez wanted to sell him to Chelsea.

The Spaniard was in a feud with Gerrard, according to the midfielder in his new film.

Speaking on Make Us Dream, Gerrard said: “For me at that time I was thinking about the speculation that Rafa would surely be in a different place with me.

“But I signed a long-term deal and it was done.

“From my point of view there was no urgency."

The 38-year-old revealed that Benitez was feeling differently.

“I felt like it was real. I felt like Rafa wanted to pressure me," Gerrard added.

“I felt like I was getting pulled from pillar to pole, so much s*** going through my head.

“What I was giving to the club, it was my life but maybe I deserved to play in a better team with a manger that loves me.

“Maybe it would be better for me to move on.

“I was lost in that spin."
