Essendon are understood to be interested in Suns forward Peter Wright as a potential replacement for Joe Daniher, perย SEN'sย Sam Edmund.
Wright is contracted until the end of 2022 on a deal costing the Suns over $500,000 per season, with Gold Coast keen to shed his financial weight.
The 203cm forward/ruck utility failed to break into the senior squad in 2020 and could be joined by teammate Will Brodie in departing the Suns in the upcoming trade window.
Brodie featured for the Suns on just one occasion this year and is likely to attract plenty of interest from rival clubs.
Speaking on Wright, Edmund said there is some interest from the Bombers.
โIt hasnโt been raging interest for him,โ he said.
โWith Will Brodie as well, the Gold Coast Suns are hoping to move both of those contracted guys on.
โEssendon has an interest, but to what degree Iโm not too sure and Iโm not sure the Suns know either.
โHe fits into that discussion on list sizes โ the Bombers have sort of interest there.โ
Edmund followed up the report onย Trade Radio.
โIt was pretty slow early doors, but Essendon have raised their interest. Weโll wait and see if they move for him or not. There is some interest there from the Bombers,โ Edmund said.
