Carlton has reportedly issues a stern not for sale towards Charlie Curnow after revelations he’s seeking to leave for the Gold Coast.
The 28-year-old is contracted to the Blues until the end of 2029 but it hasn’t stopped him and his management testing the waters for a move.
“This is based around lifestyle, living in Melbourne in the football bubble and getting out of the spotlight in Melbourne,” 9news Melbourne’s Tom Morris said.

“Carlton knows this, they’ve told him in the last couple of weeks he’s not for sale … they (the Suns) haven’t chased Curnow but they’re aware of his interest in them.”
Blues incoming chief executive officer, Graham Wright, met with Curnow’s management and told them the key forward is a requied player.

Despite the desire to move, Curnow isn’t unhappy with the Blues.
“Nor is he kicking the door down but he’s clearly been pondering what life in Queensland would look like,” Morris said.
Curnow has won two Coleman Medals throughout his career.
