North Melbourne have launched a big-money play to out-of-contract Port Adelaide midfielder Jared Polec, according to a report by Sam McClure on SEN.
โThere is a player who just played his 100th game on the weekend, his name is Jared Polec, heโs an Adelaide local,โ McClure toldย SEN Breakfast.
โHeโs in the middle of contract negotiations with Port Adelaide and is keen to stay, but there are a couple of Victorian clubs circling.
โThe one well out in front is North Melbourne who have offered a long term deal in excess of $700,000 per season.โ
McClure said Polec's preference is to remain at Port Adelaide, but the Roos are going to push hard to lure him to Victoria.
โAt this stage, heโs more likely to stay, heโs very happy at Port Adelaide,โ he said.
โAs weโve seen before, North Melbourne are not going to die wondering, they want good players and theyโre having a crack.โ
The 25-year old is enjoying a career-best season for Port, averaging 24.6 disposals and five marks a game.
