Jacob Farrell is believed to have interest from the A-League. The 23-year-old Australian is a target for Sydney FC late in the transfer window, and the club is believed to be attempting to sign him on the deadline day. It is not yet known if Farrell’s exit from Fratton Park would be temporary or permanent, and John Mousinho’s team is willing to approve any form of departure. Pompey are looking to arrange Farrell's departure, and he has limited time to return to the A-League with Sydney FC. Mousinho revealed the defender was close to returning to training, which would then allow him to complete an exit, as his future is now away from Fratton Park. The head coach told The News last week that Jacob was still with them, was at the end stage of his rehab, was doing well, and was very close to training. Mousinho also stated to The News that they were still looking to loan the player out and that this would probably be the plan. He added that they had a couple of options, but he had not been fully aware of the details of that situation and would see where it was. Farrell, who has 8 caps for the Australia U23 team, joined Portsmouth in July 2024 and has a contract with the club until 2028. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €450k.
