Transfer gossip: Motta ‘defining contract’ at QPR

Italian defender Marco Motta seemingly believes he is set to complete a move to QPR.

The former Juventus right-back, 29, has been a free agent since leaving Watford at the end of last season following a short spell at Vicarage Road.

He was recently granted a trial at Rangers and featured in a friendly against Reading.

QPR are yet to make a decision on his future but Italian media reports suggest Motta believes the club want to sign him.

“A trial at QPR? It wasn’t exactly a trial,” Motta is quoted as saying.

“QPR wanted to judge my physical condition, because I’ve been out of action for a few months. I’m currently in England and I’m defining my contract. I haven’t signed.

“Right now, what’s important for me is the project on the pitch and that’s why I decided to wait a bit of time. I’m enthusiastically ready for this new adventure.”
