Gerrard, whose existing deal expires in June next year, had raised the possibility of leaving his home-town club with no new deal on the table.
However, speaking after his side's 1-0 Premier League defeat
at Newcastle on Saturday afternoon, Rodgers said: "It's quite
straightforward.
Steven Gerrard's current contract expires in 2015.
"I had a meeting with Steven's representative
explaining the situation. I very much want him to be a part of what we are
doing here. He's been a brilliant captain for me. I relayed that to the
ownership.
"I'm sure he will go away with that and hopefully his
representative will organise a deal. Steven is very much part of what I'm doing
here. He's a unique player, a unique talent."
Gerrard, 34, has spent his entire career at Anfield and has
previously turned down moves to Chelsea and Real Madrid.
