Parramatta Eels outside back Bailey Simonsson has been granted permission to speak to rival clubs.
Simonsson has seemingly played his last game for the Eels per multiple reports after his relationship with head coach Jason Ryles was damaged beyond repair as a result of the coach selecting Dylan Brown as Sean Russell's replacement ahead of Simonsson.
This prompted the disgruntled outside back to request his fourth release from the club in the space of just one month.
Despite being contracted till the end of 2027, it is widely believed that if Simonsson can find a new home for the start of next season, the Eels will not stand in his way.
Hence, here are the five potential landing spots that Simonsson could find himself in next season.
4. New Zealand Warriors
Maybe what Simonsson needs is a fresh start in a new country, New Zealand.
As previously mentioned, the Warriors have shown interest in Khan-Pereira, however, that was before Simonsson went on the market.
This move would be somewhat reliant on the fact that reports from the Sydney Morning Herald are correct and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck truly is 'on the verge' of joining the new Rugby 360 competition.
However, even if Tuivasa-Sheck stays, the Warriors still need depth.
They have lost both Edward Kosi and Moala Graham-Taufa to the South Sydney Rabbitohs, so they will need to bring in at least one new winger for the upcoming season.
Simonsson, with his ability to play centre, would be much more attractive for any NRL side when compared to Khan-Pereira, who can only play on the wing.
