Port Adelaide is the latest club to show interest in star Essendon free agent Zach Merrett, according to The Age.
The report says the Power have registered an interest in Merrett who is a restricted free agent this year.
Port is expected to have salary cap space to target a big-name free agent of Merrett’s ilk or a recruit from a rival club.
The Age also understands that Carlton and Melbourne are other clubs circling the Bombers midfielder.
Merrett remains unsigned beyond this year as Essendon look to lock away the 25-year-old to a new contract.
He’s played 146 games across eight seasons at the Bombers.
