The 51-year-old told reporters: "He has had a great career for his club and for England and he will be very difficult to replace. If he ever wanted to come to play in Spain, he knows he can phone me."
Southampton boss Ronald Koeman, meanwhile, has also thrown his hat in the ring and says that there would always be a place available for Gerrard if he wanted to join the Saints, though the ex-England international has indicated that he would rather not line up against the Reds next season.
He told reporters: "It is maybe a little bit strange to see Steven Gerrard out of the club Liverpool and, if he likes to continue, he can come [here].
"I am serious - if he likes to continue football in England, he can come. For Steven Gerrard, you have always a position for him.
"He is a fantastic football player, really at the top level in the midfield position and the captain of the club, with an impressive football career."
