Essendon says Sydney is just one of many AFL clubs that have shown interest in midfield speedster Andrew Lovett.

The Swans flew the 25-year-old north to meet with club officials and players on Monday.

But Bombers recruiting manager Adrian Dodoro said there was no shortage of suitors for Lovett, who is contracted for next season.

"He's spoken to a lot of other clubs, there's a lot of interest in him at the moment," he said.

Despite being suspended several times by the Bombers this season over disciplinary issues, the club says it will take the right offer to prompt a trade for the talented 66-gamer.

"He's spoken to some clubs and we'll see what they come up with, he's a contracted player," Dodoro said.

He refused to reveal what the club would need in return for Lovett.

But the club is believed to be seeking a late first round or early second round draft pick.

Swans star forward Ryan O'Keefe, who is considering a move to a Melbourne club, has been mooted as a possible component in a deal if Lovett wants to head to the harbour city.

O'Keefe's manager Tom Petroro said the 27-year-old premiership player had met with several clubs, but remained undecided over whether he would leave the Swans to return to his home state.

He said a desire to play for a successful club and in front of big crowds would be two of the main lures for O'Keefe if he did make a move.
