Real Madrid Give Up On Liverpool Ace Steven Gerrard


Real Madrid will not be pursuing Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard during the summer transfer window as the Spanish giants have given up on the Englishman.

The Daily Mail claims Real Madrid presidential candidate Florentino Perez has been told by sources close to the player that he has no intention of leaving Anfield, no matter how much cash is tabled.

Reports suggest the Spaniard is promising big-money signings in an attempt to help his election campaign, and return to power this summer.

However, despite talk of an €80 million bid from the Bernabeu club, voices in England are confident that the Reds captain will stay under Rafael Benitez's wings.

Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso have also been touted as potential Real Madrid targets, but neither move is likely to materialise.

With Gerrard seemingly out of the picture, the English publication believes Perez will still try for Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, despite both players insisting they will stay at their respective clubs.

Milan have always stated that their man was not for sale, and many will remember the Manchester City outcome when they tried to land the Brazilian. In addition, Real have already tried and failed to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United last year.
