SBS reports that the striker, who made his name in Turkey with 90 goals for Beşiktaş and Kayserispor, could find himself in Sky Blue next season.

Bobô, 31, has continued his fine form outside of Turkey in his second spell with Brazilian giants Gremio, scoring 12 goals.

However, the striker has been used sparingly as a substitute, playing more of a 'super sub' role for the side and it is believed that Gremio are willing to let him go, should he agree terms with Sydney FC.

If Bobô signs, he will join Filip Holosko outside the cap as a marquee signing.
