Jason McAteer: It Wouldn't Surprise Me If Steven Gerrard Left Liverpool This Summer
Posted by izzreen at 5:27 PM
After a disappointing season, which saw the Anfield club finish seventh in the Premier League table and crash out of the Champions League during the group stages, the Reds will be hoping to hold on to their prize asset.
But amidst all the current financial problems at the club, Liverpool-born McAteer believes the Reds could have a fight on their hands to hang onto Gerrard this summer.
"The club is not secure behind the scenes," McAteer told Sky Sports News. "You're [players] probably not worried if the club is selling a million shirts in Asia or if we're doing TV deals across the world.
"All we want to know as footballers is that there's investment coming into the team, which is going to bring in quality players, which is going to strengthen our team, which is going to help us push for league titles and Champions League football and that's what Steven Gerrard wants to see.
The former Reds star believes the upheaval behind the scenes at Anfield could also have an influence on where Gerrard will be playing his football next season.
He said: "At the moment if you put everything on the table there's not a great deal going forward from the board room, it's a mess at the minute.
"If Steven Gerrard is being enticed away, it wouldn't surprise me if he left now."
