This summer, QPR might try to add five players on free transfers.
Derby County player highlights: 5 free agents that QPR must consider immediately
QPR achieve survival under Cifuentes with an impressive finish. Can now hope to finish in the top half of the standings next season.
QPR are looking to the free agency market for value recruits to strengthen their team as financial issues remain.
McNair, Campbell, Dawson, Sunjic, and Sibley are potential free agency acquisitions for QPR as they want to rebuild their roster.
QPR clinched safety with a game to spare as Marti Cifuentes led them to an impressive 18th place finish.
The R’s were set for relegation at the start of the season, but they can now start to climb the ladder as they strive to rebuild under Cifuentes.
The Spaniard has done wonders for the West London club, and there is hope that under his leadership, they will strive to finish in the top half of the table next season.
QPR, on the other hand, has one of the Championship’s oldest rosters and will need to recruit wisely if they want to compete next season.
The club is still constrained by financial concerns, and they may need to go to the free agency market for value.
With that in mind, we look at five free agents who may join QPR this summer.
Paddy McNair
Middlesbrough had a poor season, narrowly losing out on promotion, and they will rebuild this summer in an attempt to return to the Premier League.
Paddy McNair, whose contract expires this summer, is among several who are expected to go.
The Northern Irish centre-back departs Middlesbrough after six and a half years, despite an injury-plagued season. He has been an important player for the Teessiders since joining from Sunderland.
QPR are looking for a centre-back, particularly if Jake Clarke-Salter goes, and they could do a lot worse than sign McNair, who was named Middlesbrough’s Player of the Year in 2021 and has plenty of Championship experience.
QPR have struggled for goals this season, with Ilias Chair and Lyndon Dykes topping the scoring lists with seven goals each.
As a result, the Rs are looking for a striker and might turn to Tyrese Campbell to help them with their offensive difficulties.
Campbell has suffered with injuries but finished the season in fine form, demonstrating promise since getting into Stoke City’s first squad in 2019.
If he can recover the form he showed at times during his Stoke tenure, he’ll be an asset to QPR’s squad.
