Partizan Belgrade midfielder Radosav Petrovic appears to be on the verge of a move to Blackburn Rovers after talks with Vitesse fell through.
The 22-year-old looked destined to join the Eredivisie side this summer having passed a medical in Arnhem, while a reported fee of three million euros (£2.7m) had been agreed.
However, negotiations over a potential five-year contract collapsed, opening the door for Rovers to make their move.
Vitesse technical director Ted van Leeuwen admits the Dutch club now look likely to miss out on the youngster's signature, with Steve Kean's side close to completing a deal after reportedly tabling an offer.
He told Omroep Gelderland: "It looks like a deal will be made [with Blackburn], so it will be hard for us."
Petrovic, capped eighteen times for Serbia, has established himself as an important player in Belgrade since his 2008 arrival.
He would be Rovers' first major signing of the summer.
