QPR became favorites to buy L.Remy © EuroFootball.com

It seems that the QPR team is about to steal Marseille's "Olympique" striker Loic Remy from Newcastle United.

The Daily Mail reports that the absolute Premier League underdogs offered the French 8 million pounds and were allowed to start negotiations with the player himself.

QPR did not hesitate and immediately offered a contract with a salary twice as high as the "Magpies" - L.Remy would earn even 80 thousand pounds sterling per week.

According to the press, these numbers should impress the 26-year-old striker and Newcastle United will have to look for another player to fill the gap left by the departure of Demba Ba.
