The door is ajar for Carlton to trade superstar forward Charlie Curnow despite the club saying no when the forward reportedly \u201drequested a trade\u201d in his exit meeting.<\/p>\n

After a busy week at Carlton following the confirmed free agency departures of Tom De Koning and Jack Silvagni, Nine\u2019s Tom Morris reports Curnow \u201craised the prospect of a trade\u201d at his exit interview on Thursday.<\/p>\n

But The Age went further and reported<\/a> the two-time Coleman medallist \u201ctold the Blues of his wish to move to another club\u201d with Sydney, Geelong and Gold Coast most closely linked.<\/p>\n

It appears clear the Blues would deal Curnow but only, as The Age reported, \u201cif it was for one of the absolute A-grade players, such as Swans Errol Gulden, Isaac Heeney or Chad Warner, or Geelong\u2019s Max Holmes \u2013 which appears improbable at this point\u201d.<\/p>\n

Trade talk surrounding has Curnow re-emerged<\/a>, despite the 28-year old and Carlton shutting down speculation last month.<\/p>\n

Curnow, contracted at Ikon Park until 2029, this week publicly reiterated his stance that he\u2019d be playing for Carlton in 2026.<\/p>\n

Sydney is in the market for marquee key forward like Curnow, but a facilitating a trade looks increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it will be very tough to do a deal. The favourite still seems to be that Charlie will remain at Carlton. He\u2019s obviously contracted there and stated he wants to stay,\u201d News Corp journalist Lachlan McKirdy said on Fox Footy\u2019s AFL Tonight on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s clear the Swans know they need to look around for some talent to add to this team. This is a team that doesn\u2019t need too much to fix it to get it back into premiership contention, but a key forward is certainly at the top of the list.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if they\u2019re going big, they want to go Curnow. They have a history of going for names like Franklin, Hall and Lockett. Curnow would be the latest one to add to that list.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they\u2019ve made their intentions clear that this is a person they\u2019d to add to the team, even though it will be tough. They might look elsewhere if they know it\u2019s going to be a definitive no.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consensus seems to be he\u2019s going to stay at Carlton, but Sydney is going to try it\u2019s best otherwise.\u201d <\/p>\n

Curnow booted 32 goals form 18 games in 2025 in a season disrupted by injury as the Blues missed the finals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The door is ajar for Carlton to trade superstar forward Charlie Curnow despite the club saying no when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":101394,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,73700,64,63,689,55,639,3239,1129,10133,73701,71919,13213,10145,61,2105,2485,6179,73702,647,7198,26504,677,701,85,1122,7200,1117,1144,73703,11236,73704,660],"class_list":["post-101393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-agency-departures","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-carlton-blues","tag-charlie-curnow","tag-collingwood-magpies","tag-exit-interview","tag-exit-meeting","tag-finals-series","tag-garry-lyon","tag-gerard-whateley","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-gold-coast","tag-jack-silvagni","tag-lachlan-mckirdy","tag-melbourne","tag-michael-willson","tag-news-corporation","tag-oceania","tag-queensland","tag-sports","tag-st-kilda","tag-sydney-swans","tag-tom-de-koning","tag-tom-morris","tag-trade-looks","tag-trade-news","tag-trade-talk-surrounding","tag-victoria"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/101394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
