Klopp says Steven Gerrard is 'always welcome' at Liverpool
LA Galaxy confirmed yesterday that Gerrard, 36, will leave the MLS outfit once his contract expires at the end of the year.
The former England international joined Galaxy in July 2015 after leaving boyhood club Liverpool and helped them to the play-offs in both seasons.
Gerrard has now revealed he has a number of options on the table and indicated he may not yet be ready to retire from playing.
Bookmakers Betway have moved to place Scottish champions Celtic as 13/8 favourites to land Gerrard in January, where he'd meet up with former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.

An emotional return to Anfield can be found at odds of 9/2, with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp previously admitting Gerrard is 'always welcome' back at the club.
While another former Reds chief in Rafa Benitez may look to bring him to Newcastle (7/1) to help the Championship side return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
Speaking to Galaxy TV, Gerrard said: "Although I'm going back to England to live, it's certainly not the end of me in football terms.
