da brdice： QPR are formulating a January transfer window move for Real Madrid centre-back Ricardo Carvalho, according to reports from The Metro.
da betano casino： The Portuguese defender, formerly of Rangers’ Premier League rivals Chelsea, will be a free-agent at the end of the season after being told his contract with the Bernabeu club will not be renewed.
This is believed to have tempted Mark Hughes, who is looking to add strength and experience to his sometimes suspect defensive line.
It is unclear as to whether he will be tempted to make a return to England, but with The Hoops’ big spending mentality a deal could be reached.
The Portuguese international has slipped down the pecking order under Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid, with Pepe and Sergio Ramos forging a strong understanding at the heart of the team’s backline.
As a result he has struggled for game time, competing with back-up rival Raul Albiol, who is seven years his junior.
Despite this lack of playing time, Carvalho could be of use to QPR due to his vast levels of Premier League experience with Chelsea.
He was a key part of the club’s defensive set-up during his six seasons at Stamford Bridge, winning three league titles and FA Cups before leaving to join the Madrid club in 2010.
