Carlton list manager Stephen Silvagni has opened up on the team's negotiations with Sydney on a trade for small forward Tom Papley.

"We're obviously in discussions with Sydney. We're hopefully we can get a deal done in the next 48 hours," he told reporters.

"They have said to us that they would love to have Tom stay at their club and he is a contracted player, but we're hopeful we can get a deal done that's fair and reasonable for both footy clubs."
