DEFENDER Andre Ooijer has revealed he would be "open" to a move away from Blackburn Rovers this summer.
The Dutch international's contract at Ewood Park runs until 2009, but he has spoken of his frustration at a lack of first team opportunities.
Ooijer, who signed for Rovers from PSV Eindhoven in 2006 for a £2 million fee, has been linked with a move back to his homeland, with PSV and Feyenoord both reportedly interested in securing his services.
He told Dutch magazine Sportweek yesterday: "I appreciated my new contract but, a moment later, I was sat on the bench.
"I am not happy about that.
"I do not wish to continuously sit on the bench."
Ooijer, who made 23 League appearances for Rovers last season, is set to play in the European Championships next month, but has left his future in the hands of his agent.
He added: "I have talked with Sigi Lens, my agent, and agreed that I would concentrate on the European Championship and the rest is up to him.
"Sigi knows what I want. Back to Holland? I have not thought about it - there will be a price-tag on my head.
"Again, I'm not saying I want to go down that road.
"I am open to another club, even though it was necessary that I always said no' immediately."
