MANCHESTER CITY are set to offload £8m-rated defender Joleon Lescott in January.
The England star, who cost City £24million in 2010, is available at the cut-price figure to push through a quick deal.
Former club Everton are keen to take him back to Goodison Park, but his £90,000-a-week wages are a big problem.
That could open the door for QPR boss Harry Redknapp, who wants a quality centre-back to improve his under-performing Loftus Road squad.
Turkish side Galatasaray are also keen.
Centre-back Lescott, 30, has been troubled by a back injury this season and has fallen down City’s pecking order.
He insists he wants to stay and fight for a first- team place, but City boss Roberto Mancini sees youngster Matija Nastasic as the future.
