SKY CONFIRM: Marco Tilio Set for Melbourne Victory in £7.89M Deal
Sky Sports has confirmed that Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City have agreed on a £7.89 million transfer fee for Australian winger Marco Tilio. The high-profile move marks one of the most expensive intra-league transfers in A-League history, underlining Victory’s intent to reassert dominance in the league.
Tilio, 23, has been a standout performer for City, known for his blistering pace, creativity, and eye for goal. His performances have earned him national team recognition and interest from European clubs in recent seasons. However, Victory’s ambitious offer and long-term project have reportedly swayed the player.
Personal terms are expected to be finalised in the coming days, with a medical scheduled early next week. The deal not only strengthens Victory’s attack but also sends a strong message to rivals ahead of the new campaign.
Tilio’s switch adds fresh intensity to the fierce Melbourne derby.
