Watford want to release Costel Pantilimon from his contract.
The Romanian goalkeeper is currently on-loan this season with Deportivo La Coruna.
The Hornets are keen to clear Pantilimon off their books after deciding to move on from the experienced shot-stopper.
Pantilimon is yet to respond, though a release would help him in negotiations with Depor about a permanent deal.
The 30 year-old joined Watford last year after two years with Sunderland.
Meanwhile, Udinese midfielder Jakub Jankto is a January target for the Hornets.
Sportmediaset says Udinese could place Jankto at Watford as part of the Pozzo family's network.
The youngster has attracted interest from Arsenal in the past.
