MANLY are set to offer Kieran Foran a Daly Cherry-Evans sized $10 million deal in a bid to retain the superstar playmaker.
The club will shell out the big bucks in a bid to build their club around their two players, similar to how Melbourne has built the Storm around Billy Slater, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk.
Foran is essentially a free agent with his lucrative Parramatta deal in limbo.
NRL360 host Paul Kent said he expects the Kiwi international will remain on the northern beaches next season.
Foran released a statement on Tuesday night indicating his dissatisfaction with the Eels.
“I have shown the utmost respect to Parramatta and it doesn’t look like they have done the same to me,” Foran said.
This is the sight Eels fans are unlikely to see now.

“My understanding is Manly will come up with a Daly Chery-Evans offer which will keep him there for the rest of his career,” Kent said on Tuesday.
“Basically the same money as Cherry-Evans. That offer will be tabled to him.”
While having two marquee players on their books long term will take up a large chunk of the salary cap, Kent believes the club is capable of pulling it off.
“Once you get past 2017, it’s clear air as far as your salary cap goes,” he said.
“Beyond 2017, the only player you’d have on your salary cap is Cherry-Evans.”
Manly’s plan moving forward will be to build a team around their halves.
