As Gerrard turns down Arabian millions, Liverpool legend to go to Middle East

One of Liverpool's greatest legends, and for many the ultimate Anfield idol, is Steven Gerrard. The eternal captain has been one of the most important players our club has ever had and many dream of seeing him manage Liverpool one day, when Gerrard gains more experience. A few weeks ago, he was strongly linked with Al-Ettifaq, as he was reportedly offered a multi-million dollar contract to become their new manager.

However, Steven Gerrard reportedly rejected the proposal, and even denied rumors that he had already signed with the Saudi Arabian league club, a league that in recent months, and especially in the current transfer market has surprised everyone, as it has managed to take players like Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kanté, Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly.

After Gerrard's refusal, the Saudi Pro League did not cease in its attempts to take a Liverpool legend, as the intention of the exotic league is to make itself known in the world, signing great players and coaches that will give it greater visibility, as they hope to become one of the most powerful leagues in the world, unlike the Chinese league or MLS, which have also managed to take great stars of world football.

That is why, according to the latest reports in the international press, Al-Qadsiah of the Saudi second division, has hired former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler as its new coach for next season, according to information from BBC Sport and confirmed by Sky Sports. Although the details of his contract are unknown, many have speculated that it would be a large sum of money.
