Glamorgan captain Northeast plans contract talks
Northeast, 34, is out of contract at the end of the season and is also wanted by several other counties.
He has led Glamorgan within striking distance of promotion in the four-day format, scoring 780 runs in 10 matches in the current campaign.
But Northeast's family home, with two young children, remains in his native county of Kent where he spent his first 11 seasons as a professional before moving to Hampshire.
"I'm going to meet with Wally (director of cricket Mark Wallace) and Daws (coach Richard Dawson), and hopefully come up with something," he told BBC Sport Wales.
"There's time left in the season and I'm fully focussed on doing as well as possible for Glamorgan."
Any move away from Glamorgan for Northeast is likely to be prompted by his family situation rather than any playing reasons.
"I've just had another little one, there wasn't much sleep before the game at Lancashire, and I'll probably be going back to that situation as well. That's where it is, but I'm thoroughly enjoying my cricket at the minute," Northeast said.
He is expecting to sit out the first couple of One Day Cup matches but return for the bulk of the group campaign, after not featuring in the T20 Blast for the first time.
Former Gloucestershire and England Lions coach Dawson looks set to remain at Glamorgan, after being hastily appointed in January following the surprise departure of Grant Bradburn.
The county is yet to announce any arrivals, departures or contract renewals for 2026.

'Chelsea are expecting' – Sky Sports reporter shares interesting update on Nicolas Jackson
The future of Nicolas Jackson will be resolved when it becomes clear if Alexander Isak is staying at Newcastle or not according to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol. Jackson is expected to leave Chelsea before the end of the window, and he's dropped down the pecking order following the arrival of both Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer. The 24-year-old wasn't part of the squad for either of the pre-season games against Bayer Leverkusen or AC Milan, and it seems unlikely he'll be involved on Friday night against West Ham.

Rolfes on Palacios: 'There is absolutely no intention to let him go"
According to Sky Germany, Bayer Leverkusen currently have no incoming offers on the table for Exequiel Palacios. 'There is absolutely no intention to let him go," the club's director of sport Simon Rolfes was quoted as saying. "Neither the player nor his agent have approached us. We are firmly planning with him,' he explained further. The Rhineland club consider Palacios a key player who is instrumental to Erik ten Hag's plans. Furthermore, the Argentine midfielder's contract is valid until 2028. This gives Leverkusen a position of power under no urgency to sell. Earlier this week, Palacios was linked with a move to Al-Ahli, with rumours suggesting the Saudi club were in contact with his agent.
