David Perkins is set to leave Barnsley for Blackpool but will not be available to play for the Seasiders at Oakwell, the Chronicle understands.
The 31-year-old central midfielder, who has played 100 games for the Reds, is the latest of several players to leave Oakwell this month as new manager Danny Wilson makes major changes.
Wilson admitted on Thursday that Perkins was going to leave and Blackpool now appear to have beaten Ipswich and other clubs to his signature.
Jason Scotland is also expected to leave Barnsley soon with clubs in Scotland interested.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
