Fresh details have come to light on the "counter offers" Harley Reid has returned to West Coast with amid ongoing speculation of his future.

The former Pick 1 is contracted until the end of 2026, but it is understood that a host of Victorian clubs, including Hawthorn, are vying hard for his services.

However, according to AFL Media's Cal Twomey, the Eagles are prepared to blow rivals out of the water, which could see Reid sign for an extra two years, with an option to extend for a further nine, making it "an 11-year arrangement" until 2037.

"It's hitting crunch time in the contract decision of Harley Reid at the West Coast Eagles," Twomey told Footy Classified.

"He's had contract offers in front of him since April that have come from the Eagles. But in recent weeks, his management have sent counter-offers to the Eagles – and a part of that we can detail tonight include a mammoth offer that would be a two-year extension, plus an extension on top of that of another nine years. So an 11-year arrangement.

"This is groundbreaking, really, in terms of what it would mean for West Coast Eagles and Harley Reid as one of the options. We've seen this in recent times with the contract of Miles Bergman, who signed a two-year deal and then has an understanding with Port Adelaide that he can sign an extra seven years beyond that. So it's not unprecedented.

"But it would be the biggest deal in AFL history by some way, and it would take him through to the end of 2037 – which is remarkable to think about – if he was to pursue that all the way through.

"This is enormous in terms of the $20 million-plus that would be on the table."

Essendon, Richmond and Melbourne are also clubs that are interested, alongside the Hawks, although the latter are deemed "near-on obsessed" with the star midfielder.

"The Eagles are still weighing this up and going through their own negotiation process – and clubs are continuing to hunt him in Victoria," Twomey added.

"I think Hawthorn are near-on obsessed with Harley Reid in getting him to the club. They want him badly, are willing to go to eight to 10 years at $1.7 million, $1.8 million to get him across the line."

However, it is believed that St Kilda, Melbourne and Essendon aren't in the race, according to veteran journalist Caroline Wilson, who said on Channel 7's The Agenda Setters that the "family have made it clear they do not want to go to a struggling club".

Reid has played 38 games for the Eagles in the past two years, but has only seen six wins. He hails from the country Victorian town of Tongala.
