Barcelona defender Frank De Boer has said he will know in the coming fortnight whether to accept an offer to join Blackburn.
Rovers are keen to sign the 32-year-old Dutchman, who in turn is tempted by a move to England - but only once the situation at Barcelona becomes clearer.
Despite their success in Europe, on the domestic front the crisis-hit Catalans are going through one of their worst seasons in recent history and De Boer, who has not been offered a contract extension, wants to know if he is among those players facing the chop.
"The players want to know what is to happen, I don't want to wait any longer," said De Boer, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
"First I want to stay here but then if it is good for me and for my family then I would like Blackburn as it is a good club with a nice pitch and a good crowd."
De Boer's future is likely to be decided after Barcelona next two games - against Real Madrid tonight and Juventus on Tuesday - both of which are likely to prompt the club into deciding who gets the chop at the Nou Camp.
A morale-boosting win against league leaders Real would help appease the unforgiving Barcelona fans, while victory against Juventus could see them through to the semi-finals of the Champions League - their only potential route to the lucrative competition next season as they currently sit 12th in the league.
De Boer added: "But first I want to wait, I expect to hear something by the end of the month. I am very honoured that they (Blackburn) want to have me, it is great that there is interest in me."
