Queens Park Rangers are reportedly willing to sell Massimo Luongo.
According to West London Sport, Queens Park Rangers are prepared to cash in on midfielder Massimo Luongo this summer.
The R’s need to balance the books, and whilst new boss Mark Warburton is a huge fan of Luongo, it’s claimed that he will be sold to raise funds.
The Australian international will surely attract interest from a host of Championship clubs if he really is available, and Leeds United should be in the mix.
Marcelo Bielsa may need another creative midfield player, and adding one with Luongo’s combative streak would be the ideal addition alongside Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich.
Luongo is of a great age at 26, meaning he’s coming into his prime, and having starred with QPR for years, Leeds know that he can cope with the rigours of the Championship with no problems.
Leeds may have a little cash to play with after Jack Clarke moves on to Tottenham Hotspur, and spending a small chunk of that on Luongo would immediately bolster Bielsa’s midfield options.
If the Whites do want Luongo – and London Football News report that they do – then it would see the club rekindle a move, after Steve Evans wanted him at Elland Road in 2016 according to The World Game in Australia.
More than three years on, Luongo is a more well-rounded and proven player, and now is the time to strike and finally bring him to Elland Road, taking advantage of QPR’s situation.
