Four club are leading the race for Stephen Coniglio's signature, according to SEN's Sam McClure.

The 25-year-old has attracted plenty of interest during a stellar 2019 season with Greater Western Sydney, who face a tough battle to gain the contract extension of their star midfielder against clubs from Victoria and Western Australia.

โ€œItโ€™s fair to say that the chase for Stephen Coniglio has well and truly begun,โ€ McClure told The Match Committee.

โ€œHeโ€™s flown down to Melbourne this week; he has caught up with his powerful player manager - Tom Petroro.

โ€œMy read on it is this โ€ฆ and I want to preface all this by saying I think he is staying (at GWS), but the clubs that are chasing him are clearly now: Carlton, Hawthorn, Geelong and West Coast."

McClure ruled out St Kilda's chase, while the Saints had reportedly offered a $1.4 million per season contract for Coniglio in recent weeks.

โ€œI think St Kilda are out,โ€ he added.

โ€œSt Kilda have made it known that they like him โ€ฆ I donโ€™t think he will go to St Kilda.โ€
