Blackburn Rovers midfielder Tugay intends to play on next season - at QPR.
The People says Tugay, capped 89 times by Turkey, was told his Rovers deal would not be renewed by boss Sam Allardyce - after seven years at Ewood Park - and decided he would hang up his boots.
But now Rangers want one more season out of the midfielder and will offer him the chance to lead them out of the Championship.
