It has been revealed that Championship club Burnley and fellow Championship side Watford have been very impressed by Lucas Herrington's performances and are closely monitoring his situation. The 18-year-old Colorado Rapids defender gained significant attention after an outstanding World Cup campaign for Australia, which has led to considerable competition to sign him. It is understood that Barcelona has also become interested, and numerous Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United, have also indicated their interest. Intermediaries representing Herrington are currently in discussions with several clubs. The MLS side is reportedly open to selling the player but would also be receptive to an arrangement where the teenager is loaned back to them for an additional 12 months. Herrington joined the Colorado Rapids in January 2026, and his contract with the club runs until the end of 2029. He has made 15 appearances in the 2025/2026 MLS season, during which he has scored one goal and provided one assist. It was reported in June 2026 that the Colorado Rapids rejected a €10 million bid from FC Barcelona. The club's asking price is said to be higher than the €7 million MLS record for a center-back. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €4.50m.
