Bayern Munich, QPR agreement should cater for Wolves transfer departure: View | OneFootball

QPR already have Jack Clarke-Salter replacement at the club should the defender leave for Wolves.

Marti Cifuentes will be aiming to strengthen his Queens Park Rangers side in this transfer window, not weaken it.

The Rs will be looking to have a strong transfer window as the club tries to do everything they can to avoid a repeat of the last two seasons.

The West London side have been stuck at the bottom end of the table in the last two campaigns, with both seeing them come ever so close to relegation.

The target will now be to climb the table, and as it's Cifuentes’ first full season in charge, the hope is that the Spaniard can do just that.

QPR has already got their transfer business underway, but it now appears as though they could be facing a difficult decision, as defender Jake Clarke-Salter is a wanted man yet again.

Jake Clarke-Salter has been on the books at QPR since the summer of 2022, when he joined the club on a free transfer after leaving Chelsea.

The defender struggled to get a regular spot in the team in his first season at the club, but his importance grew last season.

But his time at the club could be coming to an end, as, according to Football Insider, Wolves are weighing up a move for the player.

The report states that Clarke-Salter is someone the Premier League side admires, and they watched the centre-back on numerous occasions last season, with them now lining up a move.

It goes on to add that the 26-year-old is one of several names on the club’s list, and QPR are now bracing themselves for an offer in the coming days and weeks.

The Rs face a difficult decision involving the future of Clarke-Salter, but the recent arrival of Liam Morrison potentially eases the burden of his departure.

QPR are a team that doesn’t have a wealth of options in their squad as it is, so they are unlikely to want to see one of their key defenders from last season leave.

However, if Wolves are genuine about their interest and make an offer for the player, it is highly likely that Jake Clarke-Salter would be keen on the move, as there is a chance of playing Premier League football.

The Rs will likely look to play hard ball to try and get as much money as they can, which is fair enough, as he is still under contract until 2026 and they have every right to do that.

But the Championship side shouldn’t be too worried about letting him leave and then having to find a replacement, as the recent arrival of Liam Morrison puts the club in a good position.

QPR announced the signing of Morrison from German giants Bayern Munich last week, after he spent last season on loan at Wigan Athletic, where he did impress.

The 21-year-old played 30 times for the Latics in League One last season, 21 of which came as starts, as he averaged 66 minutes on the pitch per game.

The defender impressed during his time at the club, as while he did score one goal, he was very important at the back for the third-division side.

Morrison averaged 0.8 interceptions and tackles per game, while he also recovered the ball 3.1 times and made 4.3 clearances per game.

The now-QPR player was only dribbled past 0.3 times last season, and that helped him finish the campaign with a Sofascore rating of 6.88 for the season.

Morrison is still very young and is still in the early stages of his development as a defender, but QPR haven’t bought the player for him to sit on the bench all season.

He has been brought in because Cifuentes has obviously been impressed by him, and therefore, the club shouldn’t stop finding a replacement for Clarke-Salter as the reason why they don’t sell him this summer.

Morrison is a very promising player, and with more games under his belt and the right coaching, he has the potential to turn into a very good player at Championship level.

Therefore, QPR should allow Clarke-Salter to leave this summer, as the player hasn’t set the world alight since he joined the club, and if they can manage to get a good fee for the defender, it will help them strengthen other parts of their team, especially their forward line.
