Brodie Grundy comes out of contract at the end of 2020 season and has been linked to a move to the Adelaide Crows.
Edmund reported that Collingwood wants to offer the 25-year-old three years, but the Grundy camp is looking for a seven-year deal.
“So, neither party is budging. It’s going to be interesting in seeing what happens from here.”
“This could rage on into next year and get quite messy as the standoff is no closer to being resolved,” he told SEN Breakfast.
Grundy told the Herald Sun in an interview that the lure to come home to South Australia is real.
“For me it’s where am I happiest, where do I want to have my kids? Do I want my kids to be around my brothers, who will be getting married and having kids.
“My girlfriend is from Adelaide, I am from Adelaide. My mum obviously would love me home. Lots of different things."
Edmund said there has not been any quick reaction from any party after Grundy made those comments.
“So, neither party is budging. It’s going to be interested in seeing what happens from here.
“Time is on their side, but those comments from the All-Australian ruckman earlier this week that Adelaide holds real appeal and there’s some temptation and family there haven’t done anything to bring the two parties together."
