Eels veteran Michael Jennings could become available to rival NRL clubs, according to a report by The Australian.
He has an option clause placed in his contract for next season yet to be activated, which effectively makes Jennings a free agent and available to talk to rival teams.
Canterbury are believed to be among the clubs interested.
Parramatta remain confident they will re-sign him and that his preference is to remain at the club.
The 32-year-old continues to produce solid performances for Parramatta, scoring seven tries in 10 games this season, including a double against Manly on Saturday.
Jennings has made 95 appearances for the Eels over the past five seasons.
