The Reds are in advanced talks with the Dubai International Capital consortium about a takeover of the club.
It is believed the deal could see major investment made into the club allowing Rafa Benitez to strengthen his squad and compete against the likes of Chelsea in the transfer market.
Gerrard met some of the DIC officials last weekend and he is excited at the prospect of the takeover.
"I think the future is bright," said Gerrard. "There has been a lot of talk in the media of late about the takeover and I've been fortunate enough to meet with the people who are going to be taking over the club.
"I'm very excited. They assured me and the rest of the players that the club is going to be in safe hands and that the future is going to be really bright.
"The first thing they said was they were very interested in making sure the future was bright and that the club was going to be very successful on and off the pitch.
"That's what we wanted to hear."
