QPR manager Harry Redknapp joined Neil Ashton to discuss the latest ins and outs at Loftus Road.
Joey Barton's time in west London appears to be over after the 60-year-old told talkSPORT: “Joey Barton doesn’t want to come back to QPR. He wants to join Marseille – that’s the situation."
And when asked about Cesar, Redknapp added: “Julio Cesar will move on. He’s a top class goalkeeper, Brazil’s No.1. He’s been in great form for Brazil and I presume there’s a big club out there for him. He won’t want to play in the Championship, he’s a goalkeeper for a big club.”
Redknapp claims Joey Barton can still have a future at QPR – but believes the midfielder will join Marseille this summer. The 30-year-old spent last season at the Ligue 1 side, after falling out of favour with previous manager Mark Hughes, and has made it clear that he would like to stay at the Stade Velodrome.
“Joey Barton doesn’t want to come back to QPR, he wants to join Marseille – that’s the situation. There’s a discrepancy between the wages he can earn at QPR and what he could get at Marseille and, if he can get a deal sorted out, he’ll move on. He is a decent player, there is no doubt about that and he would be an asset as a player. I’ve never managed him before so I wouldn’t know what to expect but every time I’ve spoken to him in the past he’s come across as a sensible lad. He can play, I watched him quite a lot at Marseille when I was looking at Loic Remy. He wants to stay in Marseille but there needs to be a bit of give and take. I imagine that move will happen though."
