Melbourne Victory are set to suffer a huge blow with the imminent departure of midfield star Terry Antonis to South Korea.
The Covert Agent can reveal the 25-year-old has accepted a multi-year deal with Suwon Bluewings after Victory agreed to sell him to the K-League side.
The impending transfer will mean new coach Marco Kurz currently only has 11 squad members, with 12 players and four foreigners to be signed before the start of the A-League season.
It also appears Victory will have to dip into their youth reservers to scamble together a squad for the round-of-32 FFA Cup game against Newcastle Jets on August 7.
