Ex-Tranmere star Power explains joining Fowler's Al Qadsiah: Maybe I'll face Neymar?

A potential Championship footballer has decided to sign for Robbie Fowler's Al Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia.

The Liverpool legend is a manager at the Saudi second division club, who are seeking promotion this season.

Former Tranmere Rovers protégé Max Power, who had offers from Wrexham and many clubs in the English Championship, has decided to head to Saudi.

“Look, any footballer who says it's not about the money is lying - everyone wants to be valued, so they take the best offer. I've got a wife and three children and every decision now is based around them," the former Wigan midfielder stated, per The Mirror.

“But we're not talking telephone numbers, I'm not that profile of player. So I had to take a different route - let's just say that I've come to terms with the fact that Jurgen Klopp isn't going to call now I'm 30.

“Here though, we're ambitious, Robbie has got a clear plan and a clear philosophy, and the aim absolutely is to get in the Pro League next season. We all believe in it.

“That would give the chance to play against the likes of Ronaldo, Neymar - all those names and who knows, maybe Mo Salah. It really was something I couldn't turn down."
