PORT ADELAIDE star Shaun Burgoyne has requested to be traded to an unspecified Melbourne-based club.
The Power was informed of the out-of-contract midfielder's desire to move to Victoria on Monday morning.
Port football operations manager Peter Rohde said the club wouldn't let go of Burgoyne easily.
"Our position is that Shaun is a required player and that he will only be traded if a favourable trade for the Port Adelaide Football Club is forthcoming," Rohde said.
Burgoyne, who made his AFL debut in 2002, has played 157 games for Port Adelaide and was a member of the Power's 2004 premiership side.
The 26-year-old finished second in the club's best-and-fairest count in 2006 and also earned All-Australian honours in the same year.
