Brentford have held talks with former Burnley captain Ben Mee, 32, who is a free agent.
The 32-year-old's contract expired at the end of June following the Clarets relegation from the Premier League.
Mee captained the side during the last three top flight seasons to cap off an 11-year stint at Turf Moor.
But the English centre-back could be set for an instant return to the Premier League, as Brentford aim to pen a deal with the veteran defender.
Thomas Frank is keen to lure Mee ahead of next season, due to the Bees' growing injury list at centre-half.
