Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has accepted undisclosed libel damages following a claim that he was considering a move to Real Madrid.

Gerrard was not at London’s High Court for the settlement, but his solicitor Gerrard Tyrrell, had stated that the article, which appeared on London Sport Magazine’s website, had caused Gerrard and his family considerable embarrassment and distress.

“The true position is that Steven Gerrard has not been involved in secret talks with Real Madrid or indeed any other football club relating to a possible move,” Tyrrell said in a statement.

“He is more than happy at Liverpool, to whom he is contracted.”
