The Perth Bears<\/a> have reportedly made a monster $6 million play this week, in hopes of snatching one of the game’s brightest stars.<\/p>\n

The mammoth offer has been made to lure Gold Coast Titans<\/a> star Jayden Campbell<\/a> west, as they look to secure a marquee signing ahead of their NRL<\/a> debut.<\/p>\n

According to News Corp, the Bears have tabled a five-year deal worth an estimated $1.2 million per season, hoping to make Campbell the face of the NRL’s 18th franchise.<\/p>\n

While the Titans remain confident of retaining their local product, the 25-year-old is yet to re-sign beyond 2026 and is now weighing up his future.<\/p>\n

Campbell’s father, Preston Campbell<\/a>, became an NRL<\/a> legend at the Titans, and the club hopes that family ties, along with loyalty to the region, will keep him on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a live situation,\u201d said Titans football boss Scott Sattler.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat’s important for us is to ensure players like Jayden stay at the Titans and enjoy the environment that’s been created for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bears’ aggressive pursuit comes after ruling out Cameron Munster<\/a>, turning their attention to a younger playmaker to spearhead their squad.<\/p>\n

If accepted, Campbell’s deal would place him among the NRL’s highest-paid players, alongside Nathan Cleary<\/a>, Mitchell Moses<\/a>, Kalyn Ponga<\/a>, and Jarome Luai<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gold Coast have presented Campbell with an offer north of $850,000 per season, rising to $1 million with salary cap escalations from 2028.<\/p>\n

However, Perth’s bid would see Campbell earn an extra $1 million over the total of his contract.<\/p>\n

Campbell is yet to make a decision on his playing future beyond 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Perth Bears have reportedly made a monster $6 million play this week, in hopes of snatching one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-295156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295156","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=295156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
