Nottingham Forest said to be weighing up move for QPR midfielder Massimo Luongo

Nottingham Forest are again said to be weighing up a move for QPR midfielder Massimo Luongo.

The Australian has been linked with the Reds before, when Mark Warburton was manager at the City Ground.

And London Football News report that he is on their radar again, with Championship rivals Leeds United also interested.

Warburton is now in charge at Loftus Road, having been appointed last month, and is said to rate Luongo highly.

But West London Sport claim Rangers are willing to sell the 26-year-old, who has a year left to run on his contract.

They say the club believe there is “little prospect of him signing a new deal given that he would have to accept a pay cut” and will listen to offers.

The report adds: “Mark Warburton rates him highly and was interested in signing him while Nottingham Forest manager.

“But the financial realities facing Rangers mean they are not in a position to match Luongo’s current wages.

“And with a number of clubs indicating they are interested in signing him, there is now every expectation that he will be on the move.”

Luongo made the switch to the capital from Swindon Town in 2015 and has made 145 league appearances for the club, scoring 10 goals.
