Bulldogs' $3 million bid to lock up gun playmaker Matt Burton revealed
By Zachary Gates - 21st September 2022The Bulldogs have reportedly tabled a "massive offer" in their bid to retain gun playmaker Matt Burton, but Canterbury supremo Phil Gould uttered just two words when pressed for his confirmation.
Canterbury has presented Burton a four-year deal worth $3 million-plus, according to Danny Weidler on Nine's 100% Footy. The 22-year-old is contracted to the Bulldogs until the end of 2023 and has a player option for 2024.
Gould remained tight-lipped in his seat on the 100% Footy panel, only saying the words "commercial confidentiality".
"I think that Matt Burton is in a position where he wants to stay at the Bulldogs. He likes the direction the club is heading, particularly with Cameron Ciraldo being appointed and the top dog being in charge, as well, Phil Gould." Weidler said.
