Gerrard flirting with Barcelona

Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that several persons from the environment of Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard (27) have let Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain know that the player would love to play for Barcelona.

Gerrard wouldn’t feel comfortable anymore in Liverpool and in the Premier League and would like to try something new. Because the player dislikes the Italian league, he recently rejected serious offers from Inter and Juventus. The English international would prefer to end up in the Spanish league and is attracted the most by Barcelona, because of the way they play, because of the players who play there and because of manager Frank Rijkaard.
