Although contracted at the Bulldogs for 2027, Xerri has been allowed to explore his options amid a tumultuous third season back from his four-year doping ban.
The Bulldogs dropped the 25-year-old from their starting NRL side for three games in early 2026 and then benched him for Saturday's defeat of Manly.
On the open market, Xerri has already attracted interest from rival clubs Melbourne and Parramatta, who are both short on quality outside backs.
Speculation had been Canterbury could opt to release Xerri before June 30 - the deadline for teams to finalise their 2026 rosters.
But with the 12th-placed Bulldogs fighting to remain in the finals picture, a mid-season release shapes as unlikely.
"That has not been discussed at all," Ciraldo said.
"Bronson's a big part of our team. We love having him here. I expect him to play a lot more footy before the end of the year."
Xerri's last axing from the starting side quickly triggered media reports about his unhappiness at the Bulldogs, who threw him an NRL lifeline in 2024.
At the time, Ciraldo admitted his disappointment in Xerri's initial reaction to being dropped, but said his response was more positive this time.
"It was disappointing news for him not to be playing (last week), but he put the team first, had great energy," Ciraldo said.
"He's come in this week just trying to get some work in and wait for his next opportunity."
That opportunity may be some time away.
The Bulldogs have again named Stephen Crichton at five-eighth and Matt Burton in the centres for Friday's clash with Gold Coast, after Crichton kicked the game-winning field goal against Manly.
Ciraldo is unsure how long Crichton and Burton will remain in their new roles, further clouding Xerri's path back into the starting side.
"Who knows what's going to happen over the next few weeks?" Ciraldo asked.
"But we were really happy with what we saw last week."
On the outer at the selection table, Xerri has Ciraldo's sympathy in wanting to test his options.
"We love Bronson, he's been a great player for us the last couple of years," Ciraldo said.
"He's at the stage where he wants to look at what's best for him and he wants to get out of his comfort zone.
"I fully support how he's doing that, because he's putting the team first while he's here."
Ciraldo initially named Jacob Preston in his extended squad to face the Titans, but the star second-rower needs more time to recover from a broken arm.
"He'll be back after the (round-18) bye," Ciraldo said.
