Melbourne Victory has secured a loan deal for Alex Badolato from Western Sydney Wanderers, which will see him join the club for the rest of the 2024-25 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
The 19-year-old is set to arrive at Victory following the completion of the Subway Young Socceroos’ AFC Under-20 Asian Cup campaign in China, where he played a key role in Australia’s emphatic 5-1 victory over the Kyrgyz Republic on Wednesday.
During this season, Badolato has made two substitute appearances for the Wanderers and has accumulated a total of 20 league outings since making his debut for the club in the 2021-22 season. He even found the back of the net in the club’s 2024 Australia Cup run.
