DARCY Moore's manager Liam Pickering has confirmed he has spoken to Sydney and other clubs about the young Magpie's future.

With Moore out of contract at season's end, speculation has been rife that the Swans have been in discussions with his camp about the 22-year-old making the move to the harbour city.

Moore has only played four games this season due to recurring hamstring injuries, with his latest setback coming early in Sunday's loss to Geelong.

Speaking on SEN radio on Tuesday morning, Pickering acknowledged he'd been in talks with Collingwood and rival clubs about the future of the athletic tall.

"I had discussions with a number of clubs, and I'm not disputing the fact that the Swans have got interest in him, they have," Pickering said.

"There is some interest there, but he's Collingwood's player.

"I've been discussing (a new contract) with Collingwood, I caught up with (list manager) Ned Guy on Friday."

In an ominous sign for the Magpies, Pickering was the man who orchestrated the shock nine-year, $10 million free-agency offer that saw Lance Franklin walk out on Hawthorn for a career in the red and white.

Pickering said Moore was happy at the club his father Peter captained and won a Brownlow Medal for, and his decision wouldn't come down to the size of a contract.

"It won't be a money thing, no, because at the end of the day he's going to get well paid wherever he's playing, so I don't think the money will be the issue," Pickering said.

"It's a matter of what he decides to do and when the time's right to discuss it.

"He's a Melbourne boy, his old man played for Collingwood and he was a Collingwood kid growing up, so there's certainly no issues at Collingwood."
