Hodgson met with Gerrard and Carragher - and later Academy Ambassador Kenny Dalglish - in his new office at Melwood.
And the tactician was left thrilled with the positive nature of the conversations.
"I think they went splendidly," Hodgson told LFC Weekly. "I was very happy to meet the players and, of course, Kenny who I already know so well.
"I was delighted to see how positive they are. Everybody is looking forward to the new season."
He added: "Obviously Steven and Jamie are the playing heartbeat of the club and it's very important we keep people like that with us.
"I anticipate there might be a situation where other big clubs will try and sign Steven, but he gave no indication that he wanted to leave.
"Nobody at the club wants him to go so I will be doing my utmost to make sure he stays. I am confident he will."
