Ex-England midfielder Gerrard, 34, will move to the United
States at the end of the season after 25 years at Liverpool.
Frank Lampard, 36, signed for New York City after leaving
Chelsea, but then joined Manchester City on a short-term deal
before extending his stay.
"In the summer Gerrard's focus will be LA Galaxy," insisted
Klein.
He added that the Reds captain will make his debut on 17
July against San Jose.
Gerrard, who has won 10 trophies at Liverpool, including the
Champions League in 2005, becomes the second England
captain to join LA Galaxy, after David Beckham played for
them between 2007 and 2012.
Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, ex-Tottenham forwards
Jemain Defoe and Robbie Keane and Everton striker Tim Cahill
have all made the move to the United States from the Premier
League.
"The whole process started with Beckham and continued with
Henry and Keane," said Klein, speaking in an interview with
BBC Radio 5 live. "Signing Steven ranks right up there and
we're very excited about it.
"The attention it has created has been incredible. He's a
worldwide name and people are very excited."
Former Liverpool defender and MLS head coach Steve Nicol
said Gerrard's signing will be a huge boost for the American
league.
"It is on a par with Thierry Henry and David Beckham no
question," Nicol told BBC Sport. "Gerrard is a world superstar,
it can't be any better for the league.
"He is in a position where his football is world-class, his
touch, vision and control and what he will do for the football
team is incredible."
Meanwhile, former LA Galaxy manager Ruud Gullit said
Gerrard, who decided against a move to Chelsea in 2005,
should have left Anfield earlier in his career to win more
trophies.
"Everybody knows that he loves Liverpool," Gullit told BBC
Sport. "But if you look at his whole career, he would have
wanted to have more on it.
"For me he should have done it before, not because I don't
like Liverpool, but as a player you need to have different
experiences.
"To become really one of the biggest players England has ever
had, you need to have trophies and he wanted to have them.
