SKY CONFIRM: Melbourne City Agree Deal with Melbourne Victory for Roderick Miranda
Sky Sports has confirmed that Melbourne City have reached an agreement with Melbourne Victory to sign experienced Portuguese defender Roderick Miranda. The 33-year-old centre-back is set to switch sides in the heated Melbourne rivalry after a deal was finalised between the A-League clubs earlier this week.
Miranda, who has been a key figure in Victory’s backline since joining in 2021, is expected to bolster Melbourne City’s defence ahead of the new season. The agreement marks a significant move, with sources indicating that personal terms have already been agreed and a medical will follow shortly.
The former Wolves and Rio Ave defender brings leadership and stability, which City are keen to add after a shaky defensive campaign. This surprise intra-city transfer adds more intensity to the rivalry and is expected to be formally announced by both clubs in the coming days, pending final paperwork.
