Blues No8 Andy Powell is reported to be close to agreeing a move to French club Agen.
Powell, who has been unsettled since the infamous buggygate incident which cut short his Six Nations involvement last February, had been thought to be on his way to rugby league with the Crusaders.
But reports in France are now suggesting he is about to stay in the union game with Agen.
Powell had a spell with Beziers six years ago and so a move across the channel will not be totally alien to him.
But any transfer will have to involve the Blues being compensated as he one year left on his contract at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Should that demand be met, the Blues are willing to let Powell go rather than keep a player who is unsettled.
