Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in Massimo Luongo of Queens Park Rangers.

Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Warburton has suggested to the club’s official website that Massimo Luongo will leave this summer, amid reported interest from Leeds United and Nottingham Forest.

According to London Football News, Leeds and Forest are interested in signing Luongo from Championship rivals QPR in the summer transfer window.

QPR manager Warburton has left the 26-year-old midfielder out of his squad for their pre-season trip to Austria, and the former Rangers and Forest boss has explained why, suggesting that the Australia international could leave Loftus Road this summer.

Warburton told QPR’s official website about Luongo: “Massimo has been a loyal servant of the club for the last four years and his passion and commitment for QPR has always been there for everyone to see out on the pitch.

“Massimo’s future could now lie away from QPR and therefore it is important that we prepare for that potential eventuality.”
