Warnock expecting Taarabt exit
QPR boss Neil Warnock says Adel Taarabt looks set to leave Loftus Road this summer, but thinks the youngster will grow to regret his decision.[LNB] The 22-year-old playmaker was a key catalyst in their Championship triumph last season and picked up the Football League Player of the Year accolade for his performances, leading to speculation linking him with a host of elite European clubs.[LNB]Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea have been mooted as potential destinations, while the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have also shown an interest in the midfielder.[LNB]The latter have reportedly made a £13.5million bid for the player and Warnock admits Taarabt's departure seems inevitable.[LNB]"He is missing his family in Marseille," Warnock told the London Evening Standard. "If we get a big offer from a club in France that obviously gives him a chance to be closer to them. That would be a big pull.[LNB]"PSG have made an enquiry and they obviously offer him the chance to be nearer to home, although there is a Spanish club being mentioned as well.[LNB]"As far as his talk of wanting to go to Chelsea or Arsenal, I know he has a lot of friends at Arsenal.[LNB]"Flavio Briatore [QPR's co-owner] is dealing with the negotiations. He is keeping me informed of the situation and at this precise moment he won't be leaving because no one has met the asking price."[LNB]Taarabt moved to England in 2007 to link-up with Spurs after rising through the ranks at French club RC Lens.[LNB]The Morocco international failed to establish himself at White Hart Lane but started to fulfil his undoubted ability after moving to west London.[LNB]Warnock believes his understanding approach has been key to Taarabt's change in fortunes and that the midfielder will eventually regret his decision to leave the club.[LNB]"My advice to him is to stay until Christmas, get some experience and show people what he can do. That may fall on deaf ears unfortunately. It's sad.[LNB]"I don't think I have ever spent so much time trying to get the best out of one individual and I think he will regret leaving."
