No way Jose! 'Arrogant' Bosingwa in £8m contract cash deadlock with QPR



Queens Park Rangers are desperate to off-load Jose Bosingwa but the defender is apparently refusing to leave for less than the £8million outstanding on his deal.



Rangers have made it a priority to sell the Portuguese full back this month after his unimpressive spell at Loftus Road.



The stand-off has led to friction at the club, with Bosingwa cutting an isolated figure in training. The former Chelsea man spends much of his time with headphones clamped to his ears.



Heading for the exit? Rangers want Bosingwa's £65k wages off their books

Sources claim some team-mates feel the player is ‘disrespectful’ and ‘arrogant’, while a number of first-teamers deliberately avoid interaction with Bosingwa, such is their disdain for him.



Bosingwa was fined two weeks’ wages by Rangers after refusing to be a substitute against Fulham in December. The 30-year-old, who is not training with the senior squad because of injury, has not played for QPR since that day.



Even if QPR are able to find a buyer for Bosingwa, it is unlikely any club would be willing to match his £65,000-a-week pay package. That could leave Rangers forking out the shortfall in the player’s wages just to ensure he leaves.



If Rangers fail to sell Bosingwa, they have two options. The first is to pay up the rest of his contract so they can release him on a free transfer, though that is not understood to be the club’s favoured solution.

The second is to keep him at QPR for the remaining two-and-a-half years of his deal despite the fact manager Harry Redknapp has no intention of using him.

Meanwhile, Rangers’ pursuit of Yann M’Vila was boosted yesterday when west London neighbours Fulham cooled their interest in him. Martin Jol launched a late attempt to hijack QPR’s move for the Rennes and France midfielder, but the Dutchman has had second thoughts.

Redknapp does not have a clear run at the player, though, because Everton are talking to Rennes about a loan deal for M’Vila.



Manager David Moyes is keen to sign M’Vila now with the guarantee of the transfer payment in the summer. Rennes want a total of £8.2million.
