Collingwood is reportedly in the mix for star Giant Jeremy Cameron, according to 7 News.
Originally thought to be a two-horse race between GWS and Geelong, the Magpies are believed to be "coming hard late" for the free agent.
With Collingwood already managing a tight salary cap, it could explain gun midfielder Adam Treloar coming up in trade whispers last week, while Jordan De Goey and Brody Mihocek both remain unsigned for 2021.
Signing Cameron could require a drastic shake up, with the forward reportedly being the highest payed AFL player this year.
Magpies vice-captain Taylor Adams endorsed the club's pursuit of his former Giants teammate.
“If we’re lucky we’ll have the opportunity to snare him and I hope the club goes all out and does their best to get a player like Jeremy,” Adams said.
“He’s a super player, I played alongside him at the Giants and someone like him would really straighten us up in the forward line.”
Coming off his Coleman Medal 76-goal 2019 campaign, Cameron booted 24 goals this season.
