.Buddy_Franklin's wife Jesinta has made it clear the champion forward would prefer to remain in Sydney. But talks for a contract extension at the SydneySwans have stalled, so Buddy may retire, or join an AFL rival. 7NEWS

He is reportedly open to a move to any other club, or even retirement, if the Swans don’t up their offer for Franklin who, at age 35, is still their equal leading goal-kicker.Jesinta said the reports were just “rumours” and “speculation,” but didn’t categorically deny them.

Reports suggest Franklin has been offered as little as $500,000 for a 2023 contract, on the back of his $10 million, nine-year monster contract he signed to move to Sydney.“I still feel like he’s got lots to give, and he still feels like he’s got great footy , and he feels so good,” she said.After Jesinta toldthat the Frankins’ dream is to have a European summer when Buddy eventually does return, host Kylie Gillies, joked that there are lots of places in Australia that have good weather.

“He’s certainly not worth what he was worth a little while ago, but he would be worth a lot to some teams. “Obviously, the easy answer is: ‘I want to play in a premiership,’ but really, are you going to be able to squeeze yourself into a Melbourne Football Club? Into a Geelong Football Club?”
