STEVEN May’s move to a Victorian club remains on track with Gold Coast waiting on a suitable trade before releasing their captain. 

Despite a year to run on his contract at the Suns, May has been exploring opportunities to depart one year before he becomes a free agent.

Should Melbourne secure an early pick for the release of Jesse Hogan, the Demons would be well placed to trade for May while Collingwood still holds an interest in the 26-year-old defender. 

Fresh from sealing a trade to land George Horlin-Smith from the Cats, Suns list boss Craig Cameron said it was up to the rival suitors to start negotiations.

"He’d be happy to come to Melbourne (city) if something was found," Cameron told AFL.com.au.

"It’s up to the clubs now that are pursuing him to come up with something. At this this stage they haven’t."

Cameron suggested Brisbane’s pick five, which could go to Fremantle for Lachie Neale before moving to Melbourne for Hogan, would provide the linchpin for any May deal. 

"We’re at the end of that chain and we’ll wait and see what happens," he said.

The Suns are also expected to finalise an exchange for Kade Kolodjashnij to move to the Demons, a transaction that could involve May. 

"We’ll get something done with Kade either today or tomorrow," Cameron said. 

"If they come to us with something around Steven then it might be tied into that, that’s a fair way off as I said."
