Taarabt hints at QPR exit

Taarabt: Looking for better contract

QPR playmaker Adel Taarabt has admitted the failure of talks over a new contract could see him leave the club this summer.

Taarabt had committed himself to the Loftus Road cause earlier in the week, but his comments suggest a shift in that stance - and has also tipped the club to be relegated next season.
"I helped QPR win promotion but they will not offer me a better contract. They say I am already on big wages," Taarabt said.
"They want me to stay four years on the same terms. But I don't want to sign for four years then after one year I am going to be back in the Championship.
"No disrespect, but if we keep the same players, it will be very difficult to stay in the Premier League when you are playing Man United and Chelsea."
And he welcomed links with a move to Newcastle, who were previously rebuffed with a £5million offer, adding: "People say Newcastle will be good for me, that the fans love players like me.
"It is fantastic to play in front of 50,000 supporters every week. I do not need one of the very big clubs at this stage."
