The Hyundai A-League is LIVE on Fridays 7.30pm (AEST) on SBS ONE, SBS HD and online

Mooy has been one of the standout players in the A-League this season and ranks as the single biggest reason City is headed the finals series. His form also led to a recall to the Socceroos squad for the March internationals against Germany and FYR Macedonia.

The 24-year-old is contracted to City beyond this season - after joining from Western Sydney Wanderers last year - and has already had a taste of European football as a Bolton Wanderers youth player and then Scottish Premier League with St Mirren.

"When a player plays as well as Aaron Mooy has done this season, people don't miss that," Mooy's manager Paddy Dominguez said.

"He has a huge amount of interest in him from overseas but he's still a Melbourne City player and right now he's just focused on the finals.

"When the finals are out of the way he will, in the very first instance and in good faith, talk with Melbourne City and we'll see where that goes.

"But, yes, he has created a huge amount of interest from all over the place because of his performances."

Dominguez said the interest was particularly from Europe, where Mooy's skill and vision had made people take notice.

"Europe is made for him," Dominguez said. "He's a 90-minute guy, he's extremely fit and strong, so he can be looked at as one of the central midfielder-type players for a club in Europe, or anywhere, really.

"When he went away last time he was only a young lad of 16, so that was a different story to him now. He's an international player who has scored goals for Australia and has honed his skills. He has gone ahead in terms of fitness, strength, and attitude.

"Every box you can tick with Aaron at the moment."

Dominguez said that while overseas clubs had registered interest in Mooy, it was up to them to contact Melbourne City to commence any negotiations.

"Clubs are asking about his contractual status, for sure," Dominguez said. "We know he's on the radar of overseas clubs. They've seen him play.

"If they want to make an offer for him they would have to contact Melbourne City and the club would have to decide if it's something they wanted to engage in or not.

"If they accept an offer, then the player gets the opportunity to negotiate with the club. If they don't, then they don't and that's it.

"Melbourne City is very happy with Aaron and he's very happy with City. He has got a contract but obviously clubs in the A-League have let players go overseas before. They can make money out of it and they want to see the player progress.

"The growing popularity of the A-League means that clubs around the world keep track of players here. They want to see what's coming up, and on the international stage they keep track of players. He's creating a lot of interest overseas.

"The A-League clubs have been pretty good in the past. In the vast majority of cases, when a player has had the opportunity to go overseas they have wished him well.

"I think every player in Australia is the same in terms of their ambition to get to the top here and then from there get to Europe to play on the best stage against the best in the world, and Aaron is no different."

However, Dominguez said Mooy was only concentrating on one thing for the time being and that was helping City achieve success in the finals.

"All Aaron wants to think about is what he can do for Melbourne City to help it win," he said.

"Once all of that is out of the way he can take a deep breath and say, right, it's a long off-season for A-League players, what am I going to do, what are my plans, and that's when you start thinking ahead.

"You don't want to be thinking too much about it while you're playing important games for your club.

"We'll sit down at the end of the season and see what Melbourne City wants to do. Aaron will never be homeless in a footballing sense."
