Brisbane Roar has reached an agreement with Colorado Rapids over Lucas Herrington's sell-on fee. The conversation started with Colorado Rapids approaching the Roar with a proposal to buy out the sell-on percentage the club held on Lucas at an increased valuation.

What happened?

The matter was taken to the club's ownership group, as our governance requires. After reviewing the proposal, ownership directed the club to negotiate and reach an agreement.
