Francisco 'Chico' Geraldes (Athletic Club | Brazil)

He will get offers from other A-League clubs and then he's gone.

he might have received those offers if he'd been able to play for the full time he was in the league, but given he was injured before he got a chance to really light up the league it would be a big risk to try and sign him for next season.

He isnt contracted to us so dont really see the issue if he does decide to sign elsewhere. Actually glad the club are proceeding with some caution can just imagine the stink from some on here if it went pear shaped. 

Really, really hope we can find a way to sign him on a permanent basis. Best player to turn out for us since Uli

I feel for Geraldes and hope he's doing okay following the terrible news about Diogo Jota.

The two of them were in the Portugal U21s side in 2016 and 2017, and Geraldes provided an assist for Jota in the only match they were both on the field at the same time.
