Queens Park Rangers have reportedly opened discussions with Juventus over taking Mauricio Isla on loan.
The Chilean right-back impressed during their run to the last 16 of the World Cup, but finds himself behind Stephan Lichtsteiner in the pecking order at Juve.
Arsenal were linked with a move for the 26-year-old before recruiting both Mathieu Debuchy and Calum Chambers and, with interest in him from across Europe seemingly having cooled, QPR are understood to have swooped.
Sky Sports News claims that Rangers have made contact with the Italian outfit over a potential season-long deal, which Juve would be willing to sanction, for a player who can also operate in midfield.
Harry Redknapp is looking to improve his newly-promoted squad in a bid to secure Premier League survival, and Isla could play alongside summer signings Rio Ferdinand and Steven Caulker in defence.
