Chelsea man ‘considering offers from Brazil’
Chelsea’s Florent Malouda is considering an offer from Brazilian club Botafogo, the Daily Mirror report.
The 32-year-old Frenchman, who has a Brazilian wife, is said to be weighing up several offers, with his first-team chances at Stamford Bridge looking likely to be limited.
It is claimed that he is also wanted by another Brazilian club, Vasco Da Gama, where his ex-Lyon team-mate Juninho Pernambucano plays.
The Daily Mail say QPR are poised to loan out Joey Barton, with Blackburn Rovers leading the chase.
It is suggested that R’s boss Mark Hughes sees a loan to the Championship – where there is a greater volume of league games over the early part of the season – as an ideal way to run down Barton’s 12-match ban quickly.
Nottingham Forest are also said to be interested in the controversial midfielder.
Meanwhile, The Sun say Craig Bellamy is set to snub Cardiff and sign for QPR from Liverpool, whereas The Independent believe he will choose to join the Bluebirds.
The 33-year-old striker, who played under Hughes for Blackburn and Wales, has been tipped to leave Anfield this summer.

Is good to see Malouda off from Stamford Bridge. There is already a replacement for him. Essen and Malouda days have gone, both ought to allow new face to shine.
Though their good work at Bridge cannt be forgotten but it is time we say goodby to them.
