GWS midfielder Tim Taranto is expected to request a trade to Richmond in the coming days, according to SEN Chief Sports Reporter Sam Edmund.
As the Giants look to reset under new coach Adam Kingsley in 2023, several players are expected to depart as a result of salary cap pressures.
Edmund says that while GWS wants to keep the star on-baller, a more lucrative offer from Richmond will ultimately see him depart.
“My expectation is (Taranto) is going to be a put a trade request in to Richmond in the coming days,” he said on SEN’s Crunch Time.
“Now the Tigers are out of the finals race, my expectation is this is going to happen very soon.
“GWS wanted to keep him, they offered him a range of options. He was the one they wanted to keep.
“I think he’s a nice fit at the Tigers, Dion Prestia and Jack Graham’s injury left them really (depleted) in midfield.”
Taranto has been a mainstay in GWS’ side since being taken with pick two in the 2016 draft.
He played 16 games in 2022, averaging 25 disposals and four clearances.
