Cardiff City are holding talks with Liverpool about a move for the Wales international striker.
“We have been in talks with him and Cardiff,” said Rodgers.
“I had a really good meeting with Craig before I moved up here.
“He is a big Liverpool supporter but I also understand his thinking.
“He is 33 and has travelled around the country all his life, so there are compassionate reasons.
“We will look at it but we will wish him all the best and move forward.”
