Carlton list manager Stephen Silvagni has confirmed Ollie Wines’ name came up in trade discussions, as the club keep the door open for a future swoop on the Port Adelaide co-captain.
The Herald Sun reported on Monday the Wines camp had asked the Blues to consider exploring a trade for the 24-year-old, but Carlton elected not to pursue him.
Wines’ manager and the Power strongly denied that this occurred, but Carlton’s list manager Stephen Silvagni confirmed on SEN Breakfast the 25-year-old’s name was brought up in conversations.
The Blues respect Wines is contracted player at Alberton until the end of 2022, but would consider meeting with the midfielder if he was to seek a trade to Victoria in the future.
“Ollie’s name came up, but he was never put on the table and so it was something that was blown out of proportion a little bit,” Silvagni said.
“To be fair to Port Adelaide and Ollie he’s obviously a Port Adelaide player and a really good one.
AND
Ollie Wines’ manager Nick Gieschen has vehemently denied he approached Carlton asking them to consider trading for the Port Adelaide midfielder.
Speaking to foxfooty.com.au, Gieschen refuted a report in the Herald Sun on Monday.
“I can categorically say I never approached Carlton asking their football club to make an approach for Ollie Wines,” he said.
I think it is a load of bull. Its a wonder they didn't report my name came up in conversation.
