The midfield maestro was linked to Real Madrid during his Liverpool days.
But Gerrard has explained why he couldn't move to the Bernabeu.
"They wanted me to kick up a war to get out of Liverpool for a certain amount of money, which I weren’t prepared to do," Gerrard said.
"I think Real Madrid, when they’re after a player they have the attitude of we’re Real Madrid, you should fight to come to us but my love for Liverpool, I’m not prepared to go to warwith Liverpool and plus I was very happy and stable at the time and enjoying my football."
Arsenal great Jens Lehmann thinks Jurgen Klopp could be a trailblazer and inspire other managers.
