Gerrard turns down mega-bucks offer to play in Middle East
Steven Gerrard has reportedly turned down an £18m offer to play in Qatar. Mega-rich Al Gharafa, based in the Qatari capital Doha, hoped to tempt him with a two-year deal worth more than £170,000 a week.
The Liverpool captain, who has confirmed that he will leave Anfield at the end of the season, will instead join LA Galaxy. The American lifestyle appeals to Gerrard, who has a young family, ahead of a future in the desert state.
