Everton and West Ham are among the teams with an interest in Lucas Herrington, an 18-year-old Australian defender for the Colorado Rapids. Barcelona was the first club to make its interest formal, submitting a bid that was described as historic. The Rapids rejected the offer because it did not meet their valuation. More clubs are expected to make offers for Herrington this summer. It was reported that some interested clubs were prepared to buy him in January before he had played for the MLS side. Herrington joined the Rapids in January 2026, has a contract until the end of 2029, and has earned 4 caps for Australia. During the 2025/2026 season, he made 15 appearances in Major League Soccer, scoring one goal and providing one assist; this followed 11 appearances and one goal in the A-League Men during the same campaign. His market value is currently €4.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
