Redknapp prepared to offload Remy... but QPR boss wants £16m for French striker



If QPR received a big-money offer for Loic Remy R's boss Harry Redknapp admits he would happily sell the French striker who is enjoying a loan spell at Newcastle United.

The 27-year-old has scored 10 goals in 17 league appearances for the Magpies, whose manager Alan Pardew wants to sign him on a permanent basis.



Arsenal are also rumoured to be interested in snapping up Remy during the transfer window but QPR chairman Tony Fernandes would like to keep the French star on board should the club be promoted back to the top flight.

Redknapp said: 'If someone came and offered £15m or £16m for him I'd sell him if it was my choice, but it's not - it’s down to the chairman. '

Discussions over a possible permanent transfer to Tyneside for Remy are expected to take place this month but Pardew recently described a potential deal as 'complicated.'

There is an £8m buyout clause in Remy's contract but Rangers are suggesting that it will no longer apply by the time his season-long loan expires.

Redknapp added: 'I don’t know what the deal is. You’d think they’d want to snap him up, wouldn’t you? If they don’t then someone else will.
