Carlton superstar Charlie Curnow<\/a> is reportedly keen to leave the Melbourne bubble and join the Gold Coast Suns<\/a>, while two more clubs are said to be other potential landing spots for the key forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curnow is under contract and would need the approval of the Blues to secure a move elsewhere up until the end of 2029.<\/p>\n

The two-time Coleman Medal winner is arguably Carlton’s most important asset, but is said to be keen on moving to the Suns.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a09 News\u00a0reporter Tom Morris, Curnow isn’t unhappy with the Blues but is believed to be looking for a “lifestyle” change.<\/p>\n

The Suns are aware of Curnow’s interest, while two Victorian clubs are said to be “keeping tabs” on the situation.<\/p>\n

“Dual-Coleman medallist Charlie Curnow<\/a> would like to play for the Gold Coast Suns<\/a>,” Morris reported on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

“This is based around lifestyle, living in Melbourne and the football bubble, and getting out of the spotlight in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

“Crucially, Carlton knows this, and have told him he is not for sale. Graham Wright also met with his management when the possibility of a move north was floated.<\/p>\n

“It was made clear that Curnow is a required player and contracted until 2029.<\/p>\n

“His agitations have also piqued the interest of at least two other Victorian clubs, who are keeping tabs on his availability, no matter how unlikely a trade is at this point.”<\/p>\n

According to AFL<\/a>.com.au’s\u00a0Cal Twomey, Sydney and Geelong have emerged as other clubs Curnow could be open to joining.<\/p>\n

“Sydney and Geelong are the other clubs he’d be open to exploring,” Twomey said on\u00a0Gettable.<\/p>\n

“The idea of getting out of the Melbourne bubble… we know the amount of time he spends on the surf coast of Geelong, where he’s from.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is an evolving story.”<\/p>\n

Curnow joined Carlton via the 2015 AFL Draft<\/a> and has played 148 games in the navy blue, leading the club’s goalkicking in four separate seasons, as well as 2025.<\/p>\n

He is a two-time All-Australian and a member of the leadership group under coach Michael Voss<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlton superstar Charlie Curnow is reportedly keen to leave the Melbourne bubble and join the Gold Coast Suns,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14026,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-14982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14982","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=14982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
