Melbourne Storm have confirmed they are exploring options to release representative winger Josh Addo-Carr at the end of the 2020 NRL season.
After an off-season of speculation, it has been confirmed Addo-Carr has been dealing with personal challenges that require him to relocate to Sydney in the long term.
However, in order to grant the State of Origin flyer a release on compassionate grounds, Storm has stipulated a list of strict conditions including a transfer fee, player swap or salary cap relief.
Addo-Carr is contracted to the club until the end of 2021, but has had a rapid upswing in his career since arriving from the Wests Tigers in 2017.
In the three seasons since moving south, the 24-year-old has earned NSW and Kangaroos jerseys and established a reputation as one of the best wingers in the NRL.
And now it appears Storm won't let him go without adequate compensation.
