Cesar insists he never wanted to leave QPR

Julio Cesar has revealed that he was never seeking a pathway out of QPR this summer.

The Brazil goalkeeper had been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Fiorentina and Benfica after the R's were relegated to the Championship last season but ended up remaining at Loftus Road.

34-year old Cesar told a press conference that his intention was never to leave West London and is happy to be staying now that the summer window has closed.

"I didn't think in any moment about leaving QPR," Cesar said.

"Of course, if anything came up, as it happened, it was something to sit down and talk about with the club's chairman.

"But, in my head, things have gone back to normal.

"I don't think I'll have to do anything different due to the fact I am in the Championship. It's a strong competition in England with competitive teams.

"We play 46 games, eight more games than in the Premier League."
