The 24-year-old Rosas has played 49 games for the Suns, kicking 46 goals, across six seasons.
It is the first move of many expected for Gold Coast, which is looking to land Christian Petracca and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.
Sam Flanders is set to land at St Kilda in exchange for Pick 7, Connor Budarick (Western Bulldogs) and Brayden Fiorini (Essendon) are set to depart along with Rosas, while AFL.com.au has reported that Ben Ainsworth is also considering his trade options.
A rookie draft selection at the end of 2019, Rosas was a regular at the Suns under coach Stuart Dew, playing 34 games across the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
But he’s been unable to play permanent senior footy since Damien Hardwick took over as coach and has managed just 11 games in the past two seasons.
He has impressed at VFL level this year and spent some time in the midfield.
“It’s great that Malcolm has selected our football club and we are excited to have completed the trade today with the Gold Coast,” Swans footy boss Leon Cameron said.
“We believe Malcolm will complement our current forward line with his ability to run and carry and will provide a point of difference.”
