Australia international James Troisi is hoping to leave Turkish club Kayserispor after a pay dispute and wants to become a free agent, according to a report by the Daily Telegraph.
Professional Footballers Australia chief executive Brendan Schwab has already confirmed that Troisi is receiving advice from the players' union, but was unable to provide any comment on the Socceroo’s current situation.
Troisi, who was raised in South Australia, could potentially sign with an A-League club, having left his home country for English Premier League club Newcastle United whilst still a teenager.
With a current shortage of high quality left-footed midfielders in the domestic league, it has been reported Newcastle Jets boss Gary van Egmond is one of many A-League coaches interested in signing the 23-year-old Socceroos winger.
Having signed a four-year contract with the Turkish outfit in 2009 after leaving Genclerbirligi, Troisi has gone on to make a total of 52 appearances in the Super Lig for the club, as well as becoming a regular member of the Socceroos under manager Holger Osieck.

Troisi’s potential move to Australia may be encouraged by Osieck’s positive attitude towards the A-League, with the manager insisting numerous times, unlike predecessor Pim Verbeek, he is not afraid of selecting domestic-based players.
