Bevan French has told NewsCorp he was open to moving to another club at the end of 2019, but NRL.com understands it's far more imminent than that.
French conceded his place at the club beyond this year was up for discussion.
"The main thing me and my manager spoke about was finishing up this year and see where we end up then," French said.
"A couple of clubs have contacted [my manager]. But he's being smart and fair in the way he's told me and them to focus on this year first before I start looking at anything else.
"It's not like I don't like it here at all. They've taught me a lot and I'm still learning a lot off a lot of players we have here. There's only a handful of games left so when that finishes up I'll look at it."
It's understood French is one of several squad members the Eels have identified as players who can move on at the end of the season.
Blake Ferguson is coming to the club and the Eels also have a big opinion of youngster Greg Leleisiuao.
"I think anyone would be filthy because no one wants to get the tap on the shoulder, but in saying that I haven't been in the best form," French said.
"I guess I would be disappointed if it came to that but if it did happen I've got no one to blame but myself.
"As a player you should be able to put yourself in a position where they don't want to do those things. At the moment I fully understand it. You can't blame others if that happens."
