West Brom keeper Anders Lindegaard accepts his time at The Hawthorns is likely over and is in talks with Championship Preston over a move to Deepdale.
The 32-year-old Denmark international and former Manchester United custodian has another year left on his contract but, after being relegated to third-choice keeper behind Ben Foster and Boaz Myhill since the former's return from injury, admits he is likely to be moving on.
"I don't see myself back at West Brom, I don't think West Brom see themselves having me back," he said.
"I can't see why it should end up being like that - that would be because we have a contract that we have to respect.
"But they've been good to me since Ben Foster got fit. They've been positive in this whole process about what's going to happen next season, whether it's here or someplace else. I can't see myself going back there."
Asked whether that could be at Preston, he replied: "It's definitely a possibility. We have a dialogue about it and we are getting closer and closer to each other. It's a big possibility."
