He would rather wait, show what he can do in the Premier League and then have a number of options on the table and go for the best one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A club of Juventus\u2019 prestige would also fit the bill for Taarabt, although the Italians want to wait to see how he adapts to the Premier League in the first half of next season before putting together a deal to take the forward to Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Although Juve\u2019s scouts have given glowing reports about the Moroccan\u2019s match-winning qualities, there are understood to be doubts about his temperament and consistency. Taarabt stormed out of the Moroccan camp earlier this month after learning he would not start an African Nations\u2019 Cup qualifier against Algeria and vowed to quit playing for his country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is the latest controversy to hit the player\u2019s career, although his 19 goals in 44 games for QPR last season were instrumental in getting the Londoners promoted and he is regarded at Loftus Road as a key player in their bid to avoid relegation next season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Manager Neil Warnock has admitted that Taarabt requires careful handling but has managed to get the best out of the player in a roving role just behind the main striker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>QPR\u2019s confidence that they can hang on to the Moroccan at least until the January window is bolstered by the knowledge that Taarabt has two years to run on a contract which will see his wages doubled to around \u00a325,000-a-week as a direct result of the club\u2019s promotion to the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tottenham could also benefit if QPR do cash in on their prize asset. He moved to Loftus Road last summer for \u00a3600,000, which could rise to \u00a31m with performance-related add-ons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>White Hart Lane sources believe, however, that Spurs negotiated a sell-on clause that will allow them a cut of the transfer fee when Rangers sell him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong><span>Follow Wayne Veysey on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/wayneveysey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c4\" src=\"http:\/\/u.goal.com\/93900\/93900.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"63\" height=\"18\" \/><\/em><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the original:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/06\/15\/2532872\/juventus-move-for-qpr-star-adel-taarabt-after-106m-lazio-bid\" title=\"Juventus move for QPR star Adel Taarabt after \u00a310.6m Lazio bid is rejected\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juventus move for QPR star Adel Taarabt after \u00a310.6m Lazio bid is rejected<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 15 Jun 2011 09:18:00 Adel Taarabt &#8211; Queens Park Rangers (Getty Images) Related Links Teams Players EXCLUSIVE By Wayne Veysey | Chief Correspondent Juventus have made an approach for Queens Park Rangers playmaker Adel Taarabt , Goal.com can reveal.
