Could eclipse $38.3m record
What happened. Lucas Herrington is set to confirm a move to Premier League returnees Hull City from Colorado Rapids in a deal that could eclipse the transfer record for an Australian.
- Current record is $38.3m paid by Leicester to Stoke for Harry Souttar in 2023.
- Almost a third of the World Cup squad are changing clubs.
- Nestory Irankunda is also expected to sign at a major European club.
The move bodes well for the Socceroos ahead of January's Asian Cup.
