From AS media:
Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has reportedly become a target of Real Madrid for next season
The Reds and England midfielder has been linked previously this season with a bid from big spending Chelsea, but while that talk has been constantly denied, SPanish giant Real is now said to be poised to make an offer of 30 million Euros.
"Madrid will go to 30 million for Gerrard" Spanish sports reporter for AS reports, but the report added that Liverpool is believed to want as much as a further 10 million Euros.
The report also suggested that 'negotiations between the two clubs, but two days ago - after helping lead the club to the Champions League final - Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo he wants to remain at Anfield
"I've said all along all I wanted was to see the club going in the right direction and this shows we are," Gerrard said.
40 Million Euros huh, no wonder Chelsea opted to leave the chase, and I've always stated that Real would pay anything to have Stevie.
