Glamorgan championship captain Sam Northeast is to have contract talks with the club's management over extending his four-year stay at the county.
Northeast, 34, is out of contract at the end of the season and is also wanted by several other counties.
He has led Glamorgan within striking distance of promotion in the four-day format, scoring 780 runs in 10 matches in the current campaign.
But Northeast's family home, with two young children, remains in his native county of Kent where he spent his first 11 seasons as a professional before moving to Hampshire.
"I'm going to meet with Wally (director of cricket Mark Wallace) and Daws (coach Richard Dawson), and hopefully come up with something," he told BBC Sport Wales.
"There's time left in the season and I'm fully focussed on doing as well as possible for Glamorgan."
Any move away from Glamorgan for Northeast is likely to be prompted by his family situation rather than any playing reasons.
"I've just had another little one, there wasn't much sleep before the game at Lancashire, and I'll probably be going back to that situation as well. That's where it is, but I'm thoroughly enjoying my cricket at the minute," Northeast said.
He is expecting to sit out the first couple of One Day Cup matches but return for the bulk of the group campaign, after not featuring in the T20 Blast for the first time.
Former Gloucestershire and England Lions coach Dawson looks set to remain at Glamorgan, after being hastily appointed in January following the surprise departure of Grant Bradburn.
The county is yet to announce any arrivals, departures or contract renewals for 2026.
