Akol Akon to the MLS?
He doesn't turn 18 until next year. Not sure on rules if sold and loaned back is fine at that age, or an sell the player but player only moves end of the season.

I would assume its a 'sold & loaned back until he is 18' kinda deal they are looking at doing.

Herrington was sold 6 months before he turned 18.

Melbourne City FC has secured one of Australian football’s biggest signings in recent years, with experienced Socceroo Awer Mabil returning home after more than a decade in Europe to join the Club on a three-year deal. 
Quite an interesting career. I wonder if he regrets not signing a new deal at midtjylland. Seems like it was on the upward trajectory and then just stuttered after that.

Scored a ripper of a goal against the AWs at Suncorp in 2022. But yeah his European club career never really went anywhere.

FYI - Another of the ex African refugee cohort to have come out of Adelaide, Irankunda has just agreed to a transfer from Watford to Portuguese giants Sporting CP in a deal worth a reported €15 million fixed fee plus add-ons,

I reckon he should've stayed at Watford for one more year. Then the big fish would've come sniffing. A great talent in the making. But reminds me of Singh but doing better. The world is his oyster.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Sydney FC coach Patrick Kisnorbo says he has no control over whether the Sky Blues sell Akol Akon to an overseas club and is only interested in turning the teenage sensation into a “better” player.

Negotiations are continuing between Sydney and an American Major League Soccer outfit over the services of the 17-year-old after an initial seven-figure offer was rejected by the five-time A-League champions.

Akon’s agent Tony Rallis said he was having ongoing discussions with Sky Blues executive vice-chairman Sebastian Gray in the hope of finalising a deal this week.

Should Akon be sold, it’s understood he will be loaned back to Sydney for the 2026-27 season.

Hearing there’s a fair bit of interest in Daniel Wilmering from overseas clubs.
Really grown as a player over the last couple of seasons and now likes of AGF Aarhus (Denmark), NAC Breda (Holland) & J League clubs interested.
25yr old has a year left on his current deal.

Brisbane Roar FC has signed Australian midfielder Tyrese Francois on a multi-year deal, adding significant depth and experience to the club’s midfield ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Rumour is they beat Sydney for his signature. 

Wonder if they will look at his brother as well?
After 5 seasons in a row without finals, and conceding a goal to Rafael Struick & Dewa United 0:4, maybe, just maybe this is a signing that will save them from purgatory. That Lucas Herrington money has helped this perhaps. If they can get 1 more defender and 1 more attacking midfielder there is hope. & if the new topknot up front can score more than Chris Long did.
