ADELAIDE midfielder Hugh Greenwood is the latest senior Crow to officially request a trade, nominating Gold Coast as his preferred destination on Tuesday.

Greenwood's decision is purely financially driven for his future as he looks for long-term security beyond the two years he was offered from the Crows.

Instead, the 27-year-old former basketballer will move to the Suns on a three-year deal with a straight-forward trigger to activate a fourth season through to the end of 2023.

Over the life of the contract, it is believed Greenwood could earn close to $2million.

The Crows released a statement on Tuesday confirming it would look to work through a deal with the Suns when Telstra Trade Period opens on Monday October 7.

Greenwood's manager Michael Oakes of Elevation Sports joined Telstra AFL Trade Radio earlier in the day.

"He missed the first 4-5 years that a traditional player would be there to make money, he was in College (basketball). We want to shore up his future," Oakes said.

"They (Crows) were leaning on the side of a two-year agreement, we were leaning on the side of a longer-term agreement. We've agreed to disagree most of the year but at no stage have we packed up and not spoken.

"I think it's more the ability to be re-born again and the excitement be generated (at Gold Coast). It's being part of something that's going to grow."

Oakes also confirmed that Greenwood had significant interest from Brisbane and Hawthorn during the season.

Greenwood joins Josh Jenkins and Alex Keath to request moves away from West Lakes, while Sam Jacobs (GWS) and Cam Ellis-Yolmen (Brisbane) are expected to find new homes when the Free Agency Period opens on Friday. 

Gun midfielder Brad Crouch is also exploring the possibility of a five-year, $5million contract elsewhere.
