Nick Daicos Rejects Massive Multi-Million Dollar Offer From Adelaide, Reaffirms Loyalty to Collingwood
Collingwood superstar Nick Daicos has reportedly turned down a massive multi-million dollar offer from the Adelaide Crows, reinforcing his unwavering commitment to the Magpies. The 21-year-old, widely regarded as one of the AFL’s brightest young talents, was pursued aggressively by Adelaide, who were willing to break the bank to lure him away from Victoria. However, Daicos has made it clear that his heart remains with Collingwood, the club that drafted him and where he has already cemented himself as a key figure.
According to sources, the Crows’ offer was well above what Daicos is currently earning at Collingwood, with some reports suggesting a long-term deal worth upwards of $10 million was on the table. Despite the financial temptation, the two-time Copeland Trophy winner and 2023 Brownlow Medal contender has no intention of leaving the Magpies, citing his deep connection to the club, his teammates, and the passionate Collingwood fanbase.
“I love this club, and I’ve never thought about playing anywhere else,” Daicos said in a recent interview. “Collingwood has given me everything, and my focus is on winning more premierships here.”
Daicos, who played a crucial role in Collingwood’s 2023 Grand Final triumph, is already regarded as a future captain and a generational talent. His ability to dominate games with elite ball use, composure under pressure, and a relentless work ethic has made him one of the most valuable players in the league.
For Adelaide, missing out on Daicos is undoubtedly a blow, as they continue their push to rise up the AFL ladder. The club has been active in recent years in trying to attract elite talent to South Australia, but Daicos’ rejection is a reminder of just how difficult it is to pry a homegrown superstar away from a powerhouse club like Collingwood.
With Daicos reaffirming his loyalty, Collingwood fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their young star remains committed to chasing further success in the black and white.
