The pop hunk has instructed his lawyers to see if “get-out” clauses will allow him to quit the band.
Zayn’s representatives are to examine his music and commercial contracts to see where he stands.
He walked out on the group’s world tour on Thursday after saying he was struggling to cope with the gruelling schedule.
A source close to Zayn, 22, said yesterday: “At the moment he’s convinced he wants out. He is finding it all too much and wants to quit the group.
“His legal team is seeing what the situation is. There is a strong chance he will have to fulfil his commitments and he might change his mind once he’s had time away from the spotlight.
“But as it stands he’s not keen to continue.”
1D’s management said Bradford-Born Zayn had been “signed off with stress”.
The move, which means he will miss the Asian leg of the tour, came after he was snapped in a clinch with a fan in Thailand.
Zayn later denied he had cheated with Essex girl Lauren Richardson, 19.
Reports have since claimed his relationship with fiancée Perrie Edwards is on the rocks.
Zayn arrived back in Britain on Friday morning to have talks with Little Mix beauty Perrie at their London home.
She was wearing her engagement ring but looked drained after four hours with him.
Sources claimed there has been tension within 1D since May, when a video emerged of Zayn appearing to smoke a joint.
Harry Styles is said to be “furious” the band is being hit by more negative headlines.
Our insider added: “There is a big split down the middle of the group.
“Louis Tomlinson is Zayn’s closest friend. But Harry and the others aren’t happy with him.”
After the current leg of their On The Road Again tour the group will perform in South Africa, the Middle East and North America before heading home in the autumn for a string of dates including several at London’s O2 arena.
“There is a big split down the middle of the group”, said a source.
