    Melbourne Victory to lose captain Mark Milligan to UAE club




    Just a week after he was voted best afield in Melbourne Victory's grand final win, Mark Milligan could be set to leave the A-League club.

    The Socceroos midfielder and Victory captain has been linked with a move to the Middle East after a terrific A-League campaign.

    It's not the first time Milligan has caught the eye of Middle Eastern suitors, with Victory successfully playing hardball with United Arab Emirates club Baniyas twice in the past two years.

    Victory chose not to accept a bid from Baniyas reported to be worth $1 million in January 2014.

    Now it's understood a six-figure bid has been tabled for Milligan, 29, with Victory needing to make a decision whether to take up the fight for his services again.

    Milligan has experience playing in Asia, having played for JEF United in Japan and Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua, which is now home to Tim Cahill.

    Baniyas could again be the club, which has not been revealed, targeting Milligan.


    Milligan won the Joe Marston Medal for his performance in the A-League grand final, won 3-0 against Sydney FC.
