QPR supporters are beginning to get a better idea of what the side will look like under Marti Cifuentes next season as the coach prepares to avoid a relegation battle rather than fight for survival.

The R's have already confirmed that some players have left the club at the end of their contracts, with some already gaining transfer interest.

Clubs queue up to capitalise on QPR decision

QPR confirmed on Monday that defender Arkell Juke-Boyd was one of the ten players released from the club's Development Squad at the end of the season, with the 21-year-old already believed to have picked up interest from Championship and League One outfits.

The right-back enjoyed a successful season on loan at National League side Torquay United over the back half of the campaign and was named Young Player of the Season after his short spell. Football Insider now reports that Plymouth Argyle and Rotherham United are among those interested in the star.

Juke-Boyd, who can also play on the wing, bagged six goals in 17 appearances for Torquay but hasn't been awarded a new contract at Loftus Road. The player never made a senior appearance for QPR, despite being at the club since under-9 level.

The player has another year left on his contract at The Den, but Millwall hold the option for a further 12 months after that. Flemming was subject to multiple bids from Burnley after their promotion last summer, which were rejected despite a potential club record sale.

That's according to Football Insider, with the outlet reporting that the 23-year-old has 'no future' at Elland Road. He has spent this season on loan at Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.

Aaronson joined Leeds United from Red Bull Salzburg for £25 million in 2022 and is contracted in Yorkshire until 2027. The player's price tag is believed to have dropped to £12 million since making the move to the Whites.
