Wales International back Liam Williams may have already played his final game for Saracens with star outside back likely to join Scarlets before the end of the season.
Williams has already signed for Scarlets for the 2019-20 campaign but Saracens are looking to expedite his departure in the wake of the salary cap scandal that is forcing them to trim their wage bill.
Saracens were docked 35 points and fined £5.36million after being found to have breached the £7million limit in each of the last three seasons.
Interim chief executive Edward Griffiths has revealed that players may need to be offloaded or wages cuts to comply with the cap for the current season.
When asked if Williams could join Scarlets before the end of the season, Saracens' boss McCall said: “I’d say there is a possibility.
“It was Liam’s decision first up that he was going to go back to the Scarlets, back to Wales, and that was for family reasons.
“We understood that completely and we don’t regret, and he doesn’t regret, him coming to Saracens. We don’t regret bringing him to Saracens, he has been brilliant.
“He was always going to go back to Wales regardless of the salary cap decision.”
Williams is unlikely to feature for Saracens before the Six Nations with McCall revealed to the BBC
"I think he'll ready for the start of the Six Nations,"
"I don't think he will be fit for us before the Six Nations, so it is not ideal, he hasn't played a game for us this season, but that isn't his fault, he got injured before the World Cup semi-final," said McCall.
