QPR's Adel Taarabt still has eyes on France
QPR midfielder Adel Taarabt believes a move to Paris St Germain could still happen but knows sporting director Leonardo has doubts.
Taarabt has revealed a move to the Qatariowned Parc des Princes club was on in the summer, but that former Brazil international Leonardo stopped it.
"He [Leonardo] called Flavio Briatore, but the first thing he said was: 'OK, but there is Adel's temper," said Taarabt.
"Flavio replied, 'It is up to you to know how to manage it'. That is just an excuse from Leonardo not to sign me because he had other priorities.
"The Qatar officials told me, 'Do another great six months and in January we'll be back'."
