Wilkie, who has two years to run on his St Kilda deal and is regarded as a potential future skipper, is yet to be offered a contract upgrade by the Saints after developing into one of the game\u2019s elite defenders in recent years while the club splurges on the market.<\/p>\n
Those talks could yet ramp up in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s understood the 29-year old defender, who recently returned from an overseas trip, has been watching what moves St Kilda makes. <\/p>\n
Ross Lyon\u2019s side has secured free agents Silvagni and Tom De Koning on lucrative deals and has links to Leek Aleer, Liam Ryan, Sam Flanders and others.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s believed Silvagni\u2019s new Saints contract, that could be worth as much as $850,000 per season, would see the former Blue paid more than Wilkie.<\/p>\n
The Saints also locked away Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera on a $2 million-a-season extension in a bold spending spree for 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n
Still, prying Wilkie out of St Kilda would clearly be difficult given he\u2019s under contract until 2027.<\/p>\n
Marcus Windhager remains unsigned for next year amid rival interest, while there\u2019s a trade watch on Rowan Marshall and Jack Steele ahead of next month\u2019s exchange period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rival clubs continue to ask the question of star St Kilda defender Callum Wilkie.
