Kurt Tippett's manager says he remains "supremely confident" a deal will be done to get the key forward to the reigning premiers, Sydney Swans.

It is almost two weeks now since Tippett declared his desire to leave South Australia and join the Swans, but with the October 26 trade deadline fast approaching, no deal has been announced.

With talks seemingly stalled, Greater Western Sydney boldly entered the race this week, saying it was prepared to give up all but its No.1 NAB AFL Draft pick to snare the want-away key forward.

But the Giants' interest is irrelevant, according to Tippett's manager Peter Blucher, because his client will be donning red and white in 2013, according to the Adelaide Advertiser.

"We've had no contact from the Giants … and it doesn't matter because Kurt has chosen to be with the Sydney Swans," Blucher said.

"I remain supremely confident a deal will be done. The Adelaide and Sydney football clubs are two good groups - they will work it out."

The Swans are reportedly able to meet Tippett's wage demands, but their apparent offers of a second-round pick or out-of-favour forward/ruck White are short of the Crows' expectations.
