Alex Fasolo is moving closer to the exit door at Collingwood, with arch rivals Carlton in the box seat to secure the dynamic forward’s services for next season and beyond.

The 26-year-old, who is a free agent, has played only one game this season with injury and form both factors.

The Age understands that Carlton has been in discussions with his management over a possible move to the Blues.

A deal for Fasolo is likely to be for three years for an approximate total of one million dollars, meaning the forward would be earning approximately the average annual AFL salary.
