Fremantle captain Justin Longmuir says the club will give young midfielder Adam Cerra ample time to make a decision on signing a new deal.
The 21-year-old, who grew up in Melbourne, has a contract offer worth up to $3 million to stay at the Dockers, according to Fox Footy’s Tom Morris.
Commenting on the discussions with the uncontracted on-baller, Longmuir said Cerra remains “really connected” to the club as oppositions clubs circle.
“A deal has been on the table for a while now,” he told reporters on Thursday.
“These are big decisions young people have to make, so we’ll give him as much time as he needs.
“All I can judge him by is his attitude and he’s really connected to the group.”
Cerra has averaged almost 20 touches from his five games so far this season, having only just returned from an ankle injury.
