Carlton<\/a> has reportedly vaulted itself into the front of the Adam Cerra sweepstakes as the out-of-contract Fremantle<\/a> star weighs up his future.<\/p>\n

Despite having a multi-year contract offer on the table from the Dockers<\/a>, Cerra, a Melbourne native, is understood to be torn between the prospect of staying in Perth or returning home.<\/p>\n

According to The Age's Jake Niall<\/a>, Cerra "favours Carlton over other Melbourne clubs", with the other Victorian club linked to him, Richmond, preferring to go to this year's draft armed with multiple first-round picks.<\/p>\n

"Fremantle have already made Cerra a significant offer, but sources familiar with the situation said his decision will be based on family \u2013 his partner is also from Melbourne \u2013 rather than money," Niall wrote.<\/p>\n

\"Adam<\/p>\n

"It is likely that the Dockers would offer at least as much to Cerra as Carlton and the club is open to both two-year and longer-term deals with the 22-year-old midfielder."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It remains unclear what Fremantle's asking price in a trade would be if Cerra does request a move to Carlton, with any deal likely to be centred around the Blues' first-round pick which is currently slated to be No.6 in this year's draft.<\/p>\n

After being taken fifth overall in the 2017 draft, Cerra has blossomed alongside Andrew Brayshaw in what has become a strong on-ball brigade alongside the veteran duo of David Mundy and Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe.<\/p>\n

Cerra has played 17 games in 2021 and is averaging career-highs in disposals per game (23.2), marks per game (5.2), Inside 50s per game (5.1) and clearances per game (3.4).<\/p>\n
