QPR offering Newcastle midfielder Barton £60,000-a-week

QPR are willing to better Joey Barton's Newcastle United wages to bring him to London.

Barton underwent a Rs medical yesterday.

The London Evening Standard says Barton is on £52,000 a week but QPR's new owner Tony Fernandes, who yesterday cut the club's ticket prices, is ready to offer a four-year deal worth £60,000 a week.

The player is out of contract next summer but is available on a free transfer after he criticised Newcastle on Twitter.
