AC Milan have approached QPR about a potential loan deal for Sandro.

The midfielder, 26, recently returned to London after an issue with his work permit was finally resolved.

But Rangers are keen to offload him and Sandro has been told he will not go straight back into Chris Ramsey’s side if he stays at Loftus Road.

Sandro, signed from Tottenham for £6m a year ago, missed the final three matches of last season after it transpired that he did not have a valid work permit.

He was therefore unable to re-enter the country after a holiday in his native Brazil until the correct paperwork had been issued.

Troubled by knee problems before and after his move from Spurs, Sandro made 17 appearances for QPR last season.

Rangers head coach Ramsey and director of football Les Ferdinand were on the coaching staff at Tottenham during his time at White Hart Lane.
