Cardiff City, Sheffield Wednesday and Rangers are all tracking the situation of Wigan Athletic midfielder Max Power after being frozen out at the club.
The 24 year-old who joined the Lactics back in 2015 is seeking a move away from the club after declaring his desire to play at a higher-level following the clubs immediate relegation to League One.
Power has seemingly already been replaced as the club brought in Wolverhampton Wanderers and Wales U21 international midfielder Lee Evans to the club on a season-long loan.
Simon Jones of the Daily Mail has said that the former Tranmere youth is available for a cut-price of £500,000 which could tempt clubs due to the minimal risk involved with such a small fee.
Cardiff though, may offer a different way of payment with Neil Warnock keen to see the clubs fringe players leave the club and could use a number of players as a way of structuring the deal.
Craig Noone, Declan John and Stuart O’Keefe have all been told they are free to move elsewhere after being deemed surplus to requirements, with both John and O’Keefe the more realistic, having had experience at that level in recent years.
Speaking after the Livingston game, Neil Warnock spoke of how transfer movement was unlikely before the clubs game against Burton Albion but hasn’t ruled out swapping any of his unwanted players as part of a swap deal.
“If we could swap someone or something like that. You don’t know what’s round the corner really but I think it’ll be around the end of the month.”
Last season, Power made 42 appearances for the club, where he assisted his team mates seven time.
Power was also a part of Wigan’s League One title winning side a year before where he made a huge impact as he scored six times and assisted eight.
The central-midfielder still has two-years left on his contract but with the club happy to accept £500,000 then a move could be negotiated with ease as manager Paul Cook accepts the fate of one of his players.
