Town are reported to have put a £750,000 price tag on midfielder Alan Judge, leading to speculation that it could end QPR’s pursuit of the 30-year-old.
According to Sky Sports, the Blues have told the West Londoners, who have made bids of £250,000 and £450,000, that £750,000 is the Republic of Ireland international’s price, which they suggest may end their interest in the former Brentford man.
Judge’s former Bees’ boss Mark Warburton is keen to bring the midfielder, pictured above at yesterday's Open Day with Emyr Huws, to Loftus Road, while the player has told Blues manager Paul Lambert that he would be interested in the switch.
Speaking yesterday, Lambert said nothing would happen unless Town were offered an acceptable fee for Judge, who signed a new two-year deal in April.
"I think the offer that’s been made is nowhere near what [owner] Marcus [Evans] is looking for so there’s not any real great news on that side of it. The ball is in QPR's court really,” he said.
"Marcus knows what I think with the whole scenario and it’s up to QPR to come up with the money that Marcus thinks is acceptable.”
QPR have recently received transfer fees of £4.9 million for Luke Freeman, from Sheffield United, and £1.5 million for Darnell Furlong, from West Brom, however, their financial situation continues to be affected by January’s £42 million settlement of their FFP breach.
