Harry Kewell's manager has denied speculation the Socceroos superstar is poised to sign with A-League club Melbourne Victory.

 

Rumours were circulating on Saturday the Victory were close to pulling off a giant coup by signing the 32-year-old, who was off contract with Turkish club Galatasaray.

 

Kewell's manager Bernie Mandic confirmed the Victory were one of several clubs interested in the former Liverpool and Leeds star's services, but insisted no deal had been done.

 

"You can add Melbourne Victory to a long list of clubs after Harry, which includes the majority of the A-League," Mandic said on Saturday.

 

"We're in no hurry and Harry has said he's not thinking about football for the next couple of weeks."

 

Mandic described suggestions Kewell had already signed with the Victory as "absolute rubbish" and said Kewell still had interest from "all over the world".

 

 

 

Kewell is in Melbourne after an advertising photo shoot this week, and it's believed the presence of Victory officials at another public appearance has further fuelled the rumours.

 

He is not part of the Socceroos squad to face New Zealand in Adelaide on Sunday - one of several key names rested after telling Australian coach Holger Osieck he was not at his best.

 

Kewell's future has been unclear since Galatasaray sporting director Bulent Tulun confirmed he and fellow Socceroo Lucas Neill would not be offered new contracts for next season.

 

The pair were linked with a move to newly-promoted English Premier League side Queens Park Rangers, while Kewell is apparently also on the radar of several club in America's MLS.

 

Sydney-born Kewell has never ruled out returning to play in the A-League and has said in the past he is keen to play on to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

 

Victory officials were unable to be contacted on Saturday night.

Gutted tbh. Love Lockwood and Real's commentary. Always have.

 

Wonder if anyone else will snap it up.

 

Same :(, Lockwood's commentary is infinitely better than Mick Lowes'. Who else would commentate like this:

Kaiz, who would you be replacing?

 

 

And gutted about Real Radio: from a supporters point of view they're the best and from a personal one, chasing up Lockwood to ask him about breaking into commentary was now a waste of time. Pettiness from our lot.

Tino was at SJP today, played about 30 mins, then disappeared. His knees look shot like, could hardly moved. Still stop him from doing some class bit of ball juggling finished off with a cheeky backheel pass!

James Troisi netted twice for the Aussies yesterday.

 

Not really - he scored once from the penalty spot in injury time, and he was only allowed to take it because it was his first start in his home town.

 

That said, he did look bright against a side who had flown in from USA less than 24 hours before kickoff
