QPR Have Surprise Offer Accepted for Real Madrid Midfielder
Granero is close to completing a move, while Mbia claims he will also join QPR
Mark Hughes is set to continue a busy summer of transfer activity after QPR had an offer accepted to sign Real Madrid midfielder Esteban Granero.
The 25-year-old came through the youth academy at Real Madrid and was originally sold to Getafe, before being resigned by the Spanish giants and playing some 67 league games in the past three seasons.
Despite struggling to become a regular starter, he was considered a reliable performer from the bench and did claim a league winners medal after Real Madrid won the La Liga title last season.
The Guardian is reporting that Madrid accepted an offer from QPR and the midfielder will now complete his move once he completes his medical and agrees personal terms.
It would be another significant signing for QPR who have already made a number of high profile additions this summer, including Junior Hoilett, Park Ji-Sung and Julio Cesar.
The Brazilian goalkeeper left Inter Milan to join the London club and revealed that the ambitions of the club matched his own.
"I have many dreams at QPR," Cesar is quoted as saying on ESPN. "To play well for the fans, the manager, the chairman and myself. And eventually finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League and then one day win the Premier League.
"It is possible. A few years ago nobody believed Manchester City would ever win the Premier League. So we have to dream. When you dream, things can happen. That's the reason I came here."
Another possible transfer which could be completed before the deadline would see Marseille's Stephane Mbia move to Loftus Road.
The Cameroon international, who can play as a defensive midfielder or at centre-back, has claimed that he will be joining QPR.
"Marseille is still in my heart," Mbia told the Guardian. "I won my first titles here. I have chosen Queens Park Rangers despite a last-minute bid from Fenerbahce.
"It's a new challenge to enjoy. I always aim as high as possible. I am excited but calm over this move. I will discover another world."
