Liverpool’s star player Steven Gerrard has admitted that he regrets considering making a move to Chelsea back in 2005 when ex-manager Jose Mourinho tried to sign him for £20million, and later for a record £32million. It was the latter transfer fee that resulted in Gerrard handing in a transfer request to leave Anfield.

Despite having stayed at Anfield, he regrets ever having made the decision to leave:

“It’s only as you get older though that you realise how important playing for Liverpool is,”

“You cannot grasp that when you are setting out, so maybe that is why I look at things a bit differently

“Looking back, I’m pleased how I have reacted. From the bad tackles and sending offs, to all the talk of a Chelsea move, which I regret getting involved in, and the own goal in the Carling Cup final.

“Without the setbacks, I don’t think I’d have achieved as much as I have.”
