The news
comes as QPR continue negotiations with Mark Hughes about succeeding Neil Warnock as manager, with the hope that a new boss can reignite the fortunes of Taarabt, who has been on the fringes this term, having
fired the R's to promotion from the Championship the season before.A deal with French money bags Paris Saint - Germain looked like going through in the summer, but Taarabt later blamed political differences for the transfer
ultimately collapsing, leaving him frustrated at having to stay in England.The mercurial Moroccan has interest from a host of top European clubs, but his conduct in the last few months, including walking out of QPR's 1 - 0 win over Chelsea at half - time and consistently admitting he wants to leave, have left many questioning his attitude and professionalism.However, Qatari side Al - Sadd have not been put off, and made their move for Taarabt last week, only to pull out of a deal after being told it would take a whopping # 15 million to convince them to sell.That sort of figure also rules out Newcastle and Aston Villa as potential destinations, with the thought now that QPR will hang on to Taarabt until at least the summer, where they hope Taarabt could spark a bidding war, after being rejuvenated
under a new manager and
firing the club to Premier League safety.
