No club is going to publicly come out and say they want him as Brisbane is going to make life hard for him (maybe fair enough too). If they hold out on him he may go to the team that finishes 16th!!
I think he's still under contract, so he'd have to retire, and sit out for a year before coming back uncontracted into the ND or PSD.
It said in the article that he and the Lions had agreed to terms to depart - I dont know wether that means they have agreed to terminate the contract at seasons end ot wether Brisbane would still be out to trade him
Believing what is written in articles is like believing in the tooth fairy. Brisbane's biggest bargaining chip is his contract. Aker has three choices, stays at Brisbane, goes to where Brisbane can get the best deal or he retires.
This site survives off links to newspapers - so what that saying
What I was eluding to is if the two parties come to terms can they tear up the contract and can Aker become a free agent or does he have to see out the terms regardless and a trade negotiated
If the two parties come to terms and the existing contract has provisions to terminate the contract which satisfy both parties then the answer is yes.
It won't happen though.
