Can someone explain to me how you could get this over the line???Perth Glory are set to smash the Australian football transfer record with the impending sale of 17-year-old Daniel De Silva to Italian giants AS Roma that could land the West Australian club up to $2.5 million in transfer fees.
The youngster is on the cusp of sealing a move to the Italian capital that could potentially be worth almost double the previous transfer record set by Rostyn Griffiths' $1.3 million move from Central Coast Mariners to Guangzhou R&F in 2012.
Sources told Fairfax Media that Perth Glory are in the final stages of negotiations with Roma for the sale of De Silva, which could be confirmed this week. It's understood De Silva has agreed to personal terms with the Serie A title contenders and the two clubs are formalising minor details relating to various clauses in the deal.
Perth Glory will likely receive more than $500,000 immediately as part of the deal and could stand to earn up to five times that figure depending on certain clauses such as appearances, performances and on-sale fees. As De Silva is only 17, he will remain in the A-League with Perth Glory for the remainder of this season and next before moving after his 18th birthday in March to commence his career under the guidance of Roma coach Rudi Garcia. It is not yet known if he will then train with Roma's youth or senior team.
De Silva became the youngest ever player to sign for Perth Glory when he joined a month before his 16th birthday last year after failing to seal a move to Everton due to visa complications. He captured the attention of several European clubs with a well taken goal and a man-of-the-match performance in Australia's 1-1 draw with Colombia during the under-17 FIFA World Cup in Turkey last year. Italian club Catania were understood to have come close to signing him last year but his family rejected the offer.
Meanwhile, ANZ Stadium could host an A-League Sydney derby for the first time after Football Federation of Australia confirmed its intentions of hosting a potential finals clash between Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers at the city's largest venue.
Western Sydney have sealed their passage to the finals while the Sky Blues are on the cusp of securing a top-six finish. Both teams could face-off in a sudden death as early as next weekend.
There are still no assurances for final standings between second and sixth positions on the ladder and the scheduling for the opening round of the finals series remains wide open. Should the Wanderers slip from second to third and Sydney retain sixth position, the two clubs will meet.
“The ... finals series are the premium matches on the calendar and we would like to play the games in the best stadiums to give as many people as possible the chance to experience the unique atmosphere," De Bohun said. "We have the option of playing at ANZ Stadium but the finals series is a very complex picture."
$1.3 million for that bloke
Middleby's chinese cousin?Can someone explain to me how you could get this over the line???
$1.3 million for that bloke
Santalab Has been found not guilty due to lack of evidence.
Is anyone really surprised by that, sif they would find one of their own guilty, imagine the PR nightmare and right in the middle of trying to sell the club
Was always going to happen. If you are going to abuse someone, just make sure you are off camera and then say "I didn't do it". Off without punishment every time.
the ffa's boyz get away with it again
complete load of bull.
abbas heard it, another Sydney player heard it, why isn't that enough evidence?

The vilification case against Western Sydney Wanderers striker Brendon Santalab was dismissed on Thursday, with the independent Football Federation Australia (FFA) Disciplinary Committee citing lack of proof as a key factor in its decision.
Santalab was alleged to have made racial comments towards Sydney FC's Ali Abbas during a heated derby match at Allianz Stadium on 8 March.
Both Santalab and Abbas, who claimed he was the victim of slurs against his culture and religion, fronted a protracted hearing that began on Monday 17 March to present their sides of the story.
The hearing resumed last Thursday, 3 April, with the Disciplinary Committee adjourning to reach a verdict.
Santalab, who has consistently denied racially abusing Abbas, faced a potential five-week ban if found guilty.
"Brendon Santalab accepted that Ali Abbas genuinely believed that the offensive word had been used and did not challenge the fact that Ali Abbas believed he had been the subject of racial abuse," read an FFA statement. "Having regard to the circumstances surrounding the incident particularly the undisputed high noise levels and in the absence of other eyewitness or corroborative evidence, it was possible that Ali Abbas may have misheard what was said by Brendon Santalab.
"Therefore the Committee was not satisfied to the necessary standard of proof that the offending words were used by Brendon Santalab and dismissed the matter."
Santalab will this week take his place for the Wanderers, who play Melbourne Heart at AAMI Park in what will be Harry Kewell's last match.
Abbas's Sydney FC is looking to guarantee its place in the finals and possibly secure a top four finish, at home to Perth Glory.
How the ****? Corey Gameiro tweeted after the game "can't believe what I heard out there. #SAYNOTORACISM" or similar. Guess that was ignored if there was no corroborative evidence.
Obviously Abbas isn't as credible as Patrice Evra.
but it was really noisy.
Must have been for two people to completely mishear some racial vilification.
"You're so slim you must eat carob"
You can only assume after what Abbas has said the words Arab, Muslim and maybe Iraqi were heard.
Maybe "carob dipped shiitake mushrooms" were mentioned.
FFS what can you say on a football filed that can be misheard as "Arab" or "Muslim"
not like he raped anyone
how bout these cvnts harden the fvck up !
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
