Gerrard's agent Struan Marshall contacted Reds chief executive Rick Parry at lunchtime on Tuesday to inform him the £100,000-a-week offer made to the England international on Monday night was not enough to persuade him to stay.While it is not thought Gerrard has put in an official transfer request, Parry has taken the snub as a sign of his desire to leave Anfield, with Chelsea lining up a fresh bid after their initial British record £32million offer for the 25-year-old was rejected on Monday night.
LFC released an official club statement on their website: "The club has made it crystal clear we want to keep Steven at Anfield."
"Sadly, he has told us that he will not accept our offer of an improved and extended contract because he wants to leave Liverpool.
"We very much regret the decision that has been taken."
