Kerr's World Cup scoring exploits have caught the attention of the famous club and, according to a News Corp report, could make her one of the richest female footballers in the world if she decides to accept the rumoured deal.
While Australia's Women's World Cup campaign is sure to be the primary focus of the Matildas captain, Kerr is set to face one of the biggest decisions of her career once the tournament is over with the FFA determined to keep their golden girl in the W-League.
“We will definitely sit down with her after the World Cup and discuss where she sees herself next. Her spot at Perth Glory and in the W-League is a tremendous thing for the club, the competition and the sport,” FFA CEO David Gallop told News Corp.
“The opportunity for her to lead us into a home soil Women’s World Cup in 2023 is so exciting. We appreciate that playing for a big club overseas would be wonderful for her, too.
“I see her as a pioneer of a new era for women’s sport and women generally because she has pushed a barrier over that will be remembered as a unique moment in time. Now we see women, girls, men and boys wearing Matildas jerseys and even crossing out the name of a Socceroo on a men’s jersey and replacing it with Kerr.”
Kerr has split her time between Australian and the United States for the most part of her career playing in the National Women's Soccer League during the W-League's long off-season.
The 25-year-old holds numerous scoring records in both leagues including NWSL all-time leading goal scorer as well as most goals in a NWSL season.
The lighting quick attacker also became the first Australian to score a hat-trick at a World Cup with her four-goal performance in the Matildas 4-1 demolition of Jamaica in Grenoble this week.
