Glory wait on Fornaroli offer
Perth Glory owner Tony Sage says he's not counting his chickens in the club's bid to bring in striker Bruno Fornaroli.
The Uruguayan was released by Melbourne City on Wednesday, having not featured in their squad since the opening four rounds of the A-League season.
He's obviously got lots and lots of different offers on the table.

Reports suggest he is in line for a $1.2million contract with the A-League leaders starting next season, but Sage says the move is not yet cut-and-dried for the 31-year-old.
"Bruno Fornaroli has just parted ways with City and Tony Popovic showed interest," he added. "Agents are talking to management and who knows what will happen.
"He's obviously got lots and lots of different offers on the table - until you get a signed contract from a player it's not a done deal. We showed interest, it's up to him now to show interest in Perth Glory."
Sydney FC are also interested in the former Golden Boot winner, having failed to snare him in the off-season from City.
The Glory have several players coming off contract at the end of the season, including Jason Davidson, Joel Chianese and Andy Keogh.
Socceroos striker Chris Ikonomidis is sure to attract interest and has admitted he harbours hopes of a return to Europe.
Sage said Perth wouldn't stand in the way of Ikonomides if he attracted a big offer.
"That's his goal, his dream," he added. "People leave for various reasons and you always have to be looking for various players to replace them."
The Glory are 11/8 to win their next game against Melbourne City, who are 2/1, with the draw 23/10.
