Queens Park Rangers prepare £6m bid for defensive duo

Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock is ready to part with £6m to bring defenders Alex and Nedum Onuoha to the club, according to Sky Sports News.

Brazilian centre-back Alex was made available last month by Chelsea, who accepted his transfer request. The Blues are willing to allow the 29-year-old to leave Stamford Bridge for £3m.

Manchester City will reportedly allow 25-year-old Onuoha to depart the Etihad Stadium for the same price.

Speculation this morning also claimed that Warnock is ready to make a bid for Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba.
