Cherry-Evans meets with Titans officials

In-demand Manly halfback Daly Cherry-Evans has travelled to the Gold Coast on Monday to meet with Titans officials.

Gold Coast's attempt to lure Manly's Daly Cherry-Evans to the Titans appears to have gathered steam with the in-demand halfback visiting the NRL club on Monday.

Cherry-Evans made a flying visit to Titans headquarters for talks with officials and to check out club facilities as the bidding war for the 25-year-old heats up.

The Titans are reportedly set to offer the Queensland and Australia representative a three-year, $3 million deal to join them when his current deal expires at the end of the 2015 season.

Cronulla and Parramatta are believed to be among other clubs courting Cherry-Evans.

The playmaker's manager Gavin Orr confirmed Cherry-Evans had spent the day on the Gold Coast as part of ongoing negotiations.

"He was just checking out the facilities and infrastructure of the place and seeing if they wanted to present something to him from the board," Orr told AAP.

"He's only interested in the club's that he thinks he can improve and they're one of the clubs."

The Titans are desperate to land Cherry-Evans, with the reported deal offered eclipsing that given to Scott Prince when he became the club's first marquee signing before their inaugural NRL season in 2007.

Titans coach Neil Henry has already dined with Cherry-Evans in Sydney and said he would be a huge asset for the club.

"He would be tremendous for us," Henry said earlier this month.

"He's certainly an experienced player now. He's got great leadership and he can get a team around the park."
