Harry Kewell says he is on the verge of signing a new deal to play with Melbourne Victory in the next A-League season.

The Socceroos striker hopes to wrap up the revised contract later this month following Australia's World Cup qualifier against Japan in Brisbane on Tuesday.

"We are very close, there's just a few things," he said after Australia's 0-0 draw with Oman in Muscat.

Kewell and Victory had an option to break his three-year contract at the end of his first season.

Kewell's camp is understood to have been keen to tweak the player's incentive-based contract with his second season to be played under new coach Ange Postecoglou.
