Mauro Formica wants to leave Blackburn to join Greek side Olympiakos this month, according to his brother Lautaro.
The Argentinian midfielder is apparently keen for a move to Greece after struggling to settle in England and was linked with a possible loan move to Olympiakos with a view to a permanent deal.
And, while Rovers have previously ruled out a loan move after insisting that they want to recoup the £3.5million paid out to Newell's Old Boys 12 months ago, it now seems a deal for Formica is edging closer following talks between the clubs.
Lautaro, who plies his trade with Greek side Asteras Tripolis, has also chipped in to reveal that his brother is interested in making the move to Olympiakos if Rovers give him the green light.
"Of course I spoke with my brother about this," he told Sport24.
"There is a possibility to make a transfer to Olympiakos. There is interest from the Greek champions.
"I said to him a lot of things about Greece and what Olympiakos means for the Greek football.
"The problem is that he has some issues with Blackburn that he must resolve. He told me that he wants to come to play here. It doesn't depend on him.
"It depends on the two clubs, Blackburn and Olympiakos. We will see what is going to happen."
