Breaking News: Nathan Cleary’s Future in Doubt Amid Sydney Move Talks
In a bombshell development, Penrith Panthers star Nathan Cleary has been asked about the possibility of leaving the club for a move to Sydney—but with one key condition. Sources have revealed that Cleary, who has long been the cornerstone of the Panthers’ dynasty, is reportedly open to a switch if certain conditions are met by the club’s management.
Cleary, who has already achieved immense success with Penrith, is said to be weighing his options in light of the club’s recent struggles to maintain their dominance. After consecutive premierships, the Panthers have faced challenges with roster stability and a perceived lack of fresh talent coming through. As one of the NRL’s most valuable players, Cleary has the leverage to dictate terms regarding his future.
The condition reportedly revolves around Penrith’s commitment to reinvigorating their squad and prioritizing a long-term vision to remain competitive. Cleary has expressed concerns over the club’s recruitment strategy, particularly in the wake of key players either retiring or being moved on. He is said to want assurances that the Panthers will bolster their roster with high-quality talent, ensuring they remain in the mix for future titles.
While there has been no official statement from Cleary or Penrith at this stage, the rumblings of a potential Sydney move have raised alarm bells. Should Cleary decide to leave Penrith, Sydney-based clubs could be major contenders for his signature, with teams such as the Sydney Roosters or South Sydney Rabbitohs already reportedly monitoring the situation.
As the NRL season progresses, all eyes will be on Cleary to see whether Penrith can meet his demands—or if he will ultimately choose a fresh challenge in the heart of Sydney.
