St Kilda youngster Alix Tauru has been revealed to have toured Gold Coast's facilities as he weighs up his future with one more year left on his contract.
Grumblings around Tauru's future continue to circulate in the AFL trade landscape, having spent a fair chunk of time in the VFL over the past two years.
According to a report in The Agenda Setters, the 19-year-old's management is not fond of the Saints, especially after last year's debacle involving Leek Aleer's mooted move to Moorabbin, before the deal was pulled under him.

Tauru has been thrown around in multiple positions, and the uncertainty around his position, compounded by his lack of senior selection, has resulted in rivals considering making a play for the contracted utility.
It's understood Tasmania will also be on the hunt for the Saint's signature as they prepare to enter the competition in 2028.
St Kilda is among the clubs to ask the question of the suspended Sydney star Nick Blakey, who is keen for a fresh start after a breakdown in the relationship between the rebounding defender and the Swans.
Western Bulldogs defender Rory Lobb has been linked to the Saints, while Geelong's Sam De Koning is another player of interest, with St Kilda wanting to unite him with his brother, Tom.
Ruckman Rowan Marshall has requested a trade for the second year in a row, with the Cats looming as the likely destination.
