Robbie Savage has admitted he is looking to secure a move away from Blackburn as soon as possible.
The Welshman is no longer a Blackburn regular after fighting his way back from injury and finding more competition for places in midfield.
"I told him I needed to be playing every week and he knows me well enough to understand that I get myself in a right state if I'm not.
"This isn't a case of Rovers wanting me gone, it's me needing a new challenge."
Savage insists he would relish the chance to take part in another relegation battle, but he is also open to other offers.
He explained: "I'm up for that sort of scrap. I did it at Birmingham and took on a similar role here.
"Rovers would like me to stay but I can't be a squad player when there are teams out there who want me involved in a relegation scrap or even a promotion battle because I can offer a lot in those circumstances.
"I don't know where I'll be going. What matters is that it happens as quickly as possible because the season is going by and I want to be involved."
