The resolve of the Western Sydney Wanderers' new owners is about to be tested as back-to-back J-League champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima are likely to make a bid for their star striker Tomi Juric.

It is not the first time foreign interest has come for Juric. Russian Premier League club Torpedo Moscow and a Swedish club have tabled offers in recent months.

The Swedish club's offer – reportedly close to $500,000 – and Torpedo's subsequent offer of $700,000 were rejected by last season's A-League runners-up.

But Sanfrecce's offer, thought to involve a similar figure to that of Torpedo, is likely to be more tempting. Unlike other clubs, they will be prepared to wait until January, when the J-League season begins, before taking him on.
