Queens Park Rangers midfielder Esteban Granero is a £5.6million target for Fiorentina, according to the London Evening Standard.

The Spanish midfielder has been one of the few positives for a QPR side that is yet to win a league game this season and would be available for a cut-price fee if the club are ultimately relegated.

Knowing about the release clause, the Italian side are preparing to test Rangers' resolve with a January bid.

Granero joined from Real Madrid at the beginning of the season in a deal that could cost up to £9million and is one of the highest earners at Loftus Road.

Harry Redknapp has been told that he would have to sell players before he can buy and significantly dropped Granero to the bench for the 2-2 draw at Wigan last Saturday.

Meanwhile, Stephane Mbia has vowed to continue being generous to fans after games.

“As a youngster I never expected a player to give me their shirt after a game, but why not? I will do this after every game because it is how I am,” said the midfielder.

“I am a simple and humble person. It is very important that we all remember where we came from.”

Meanwhile, Adel Taarabt is set to snub Redknapp and join up with the Morocco squad for next month's Africa Cup of Nations.
