Sulley Muntari has indicated that a move to promoted club QPR would not be out of the question.
The Inter Milan midfielder spent the second part of last season on loan with Sunderland but it seems that a permanent move to the Stadium of Light is unlikely.
However, he has kept the door ajar for a possible shift to QPR if a Sunderland move does not come to fruition.
"I would have loved to stay with Sunderland," said the Ghanaian.
"I love the Premier League but do not forget I belong to one of the biggest clubs in the world.
"QPR? Why not, it will be a start. I have done it with another good English manager at Portsmouth. We even won the FA Cup, so you never know."
