Caceres has joined Manchester City.
The 23-year-old midfielder made his debut in the Australian
top flight in 2013 and has scored three goals in 73
appearances for Mariners.
It’s expected that the Australian, who has not been capped
by the national side, will be immediately loaned out to City’s
sister club Melbourne City, who are owned by the City
Football Group.
“We need to celebrate when players at the Central Coast
Mariners are sold to bigger Clubs. It's our charter. It's our
intent,” said Mariners head coach Tony Walmsley.
“When I brought Anthony Caceres to the Mariners his
potential was obvious.
“This move demonstrates how far Anthony has progressed
and symbolises how giving youth a chance works for both
the Central Coast Mariners and young aspirational
footballers.”
However, Melbourne City coach John van 't Schip insisted
on Friday that he expects Caceres to join City.
"Manchester City is getting him [Caceres] in. More or less,
that's it," said the Dutchman.
"We can't comment on [a potential loan move] but of course
everybody knows he's a good player, he's one of the better
players in the A-League. So we'll just have to see."
