Steven Gerrard may return to Liverpool, but to train or to play?
Could the Gerrard experiment in Los Angeles be cut short with a move away from the City of Angels in January?

The ownership of rich French club PSG says the club is not in talks with Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo over a potential move to the club down the road, but the events that took place on Tuesday after the Real Madrid-PSG Champions League match have led many to speculate otherwise.
First, Cristiano Ronaldo exited the pitch and whispered something into the ear of PSG coach Laurent Blanc. He covered his mouth with his hand. What could he have been saying?
Take a look.
In Tuesday's post-match press conference, Blanc did not disclose what Ronaldo said to him.
"Ronaldo told me certain things, yes," he said afterwards (link in French). "But as you might suspect, I won't say what it was.
"It was very complimentary anyway. I won't say any more about it."
Hmm...why not? If it was just a congratulatory message from Ronaldo after the match, why would he not disclose it?
Then Ronaldo went to greet PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and looked really comfortable doing so.
"Ronaldo has a contract with Real Madrid and we respect that," the owner told beIN Sports in an interview (per Globo).
"If there were negotiations they would be in secret. But right now we don't have any negotiations with Ronaldo at all."
So basically if there were talks, he wouldn't say that as they would be secretive. Hmm.
Ronaldo was then confronted by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez inside the stadium. Perez didn't seem to care for all the post-match chit-chat.
According to Marca, here's the exchange between Ronaldo and Perez:
Ronaldo: "Hello, 'presi'"
Perez: "We have to talk. Why did you say that? We have to talk."
Ronaldo: "About what? What did I say?"
...
Perez then says something to Ronaldo, who then responds, "I did not say that. I did not say that. I said something different."
Could these all be hints that Ronaldo is eyeing a move to the French capital? That is a bit of a stretch, but the soccer press loves to speculate about these things, especially when it comes to a player with this magnitude.
