Australian transfers 26-27 Summer

Barcelona have submitted a bid for Lucas Herrington to the Colorado Rapids. It was rejected as the Rapids believe they will receive more for Herrington after the next few weeks. Crazily, the Rapids approached the Brisbane Roar in recent weeks and agreed on a deal to buy-out the 20% sell-on clause which would have pocketed the Roar millions in any deal for only $560,000.

If Brisbane did cash out the buy out clause it will go down as one of the great a league clangers.

Can you imagine a Socceroo playing for Barcelona? An A-League product at that? If I am being honest, I never thought I would see the day but now at least I can dream.

But in saying that, do I need to cool my jets here? Is it likely another Irankunda type scenario where he gets loaned out for the experience?

That better be false. Why the hell would they give up about $5 million for one-tenth of that? That would be the last straw for me if I were a Roar fan.
 
Now we starting to develop potential elite level players especially in defenders and even attackers we are slowly getting there with Irankunda and Mo Toure now we need to develop some midfield technicians to contemplate them.

Just shows how important is to play promising young players especially at the tender ages of 15-18, we need some playmakers especially No.8s/10s now.

No.6 we we look good with Okon Jr the younger bro at Club Brugge if we convince to play for us but clearly we need to keep going to build a strong team in the future.

I still cant believe how naive the Roar are, the kids could be making millions of dollars for them with a sell on clause it shows you need to value your players especially the younger ones!

No.

Can’t see any Aussie playing for Barca!
 
Lucas Herrington linked to Barcelona is huge (even saying this as a Barca fan too lol because he is so young with alot of potential) it would be a big move but it tells me here is big clubs and the big leagues are noticing he's ability which shows he's big potential as a player.
He is only 18 years of age, I cant imagine he would be partnering Pau Cubarsi who is also 19 years of age but let see what happens.

I just hope he gets the right move at the end of the day, I look at someone like Khausanov and how he got he's move to Man City, he initially moved to Lens in Ligue 1 after he's time in he's homeland in Uzbekistan and in a couple of years he got he's move to Man City but let's how the whole thing will manifest for young Lucas as well.

Don’t count your chickens about Okon Jr. One never knows?

Younis, Arzani, Jake Hollman, Teague, Farrell, Matthews, Nisbet, have left Aus with big expectations in recent times, but struggled at UEFA club level - which is heterogeneous in standard.

Joey Lynch reported yesterday that the Socceroos and Football Australia recognise Gianluca Okon's talent are closely monitoring him. Arena, Gianluca Okon, Nicoll-Jazuli and a few others are all players to watch in the next cycle. I expect a push for Arena after the World Cup designed for him to play for us at the 2027 Asian Cup.
