Richmond say they will work with Gold Coast to negotiate a fair trade for Dion Prestia, who has accepted a five-year offer to join the club.

The Tigers announced on Wednesday that Prestia had nominated them as his preferred destination.

Prestia unofficially resolved to join the Tigers earlier this month, as reported by Fairfax Media at the time.

The midfielder waited until the Suns' season was over to tell teammates and supporters that he had decided to leave after six years.
