Eddie Betts is contracted at Adelaide through 2020, but looks set to make a shocking return to the Blues in the upcoming trade period.

The Australianย reported early on Thursday night that Betts was โ€œdesperately unhappyโ€ with the Crows and โ€œwill returnโ€ to Carlton.

Talks of Betts being unsettled at Adelaide date back to the pre-season camp in 2018.

Gold Coast have also been linked with a move for Betts during the trade period.

Betts has stated there has been an interest in his services, but no formal offer has been made.

โ€œI can say right now, honestly, thereโ€™s been no offer made to me from Gold Coast or any other team,โ€ Betts told FIVEaa on Thursday.

โ€œThereโ€™s been interest, but thereโ€™s no offer thatโ€™s been made.โ€
