QPR are struggling to put together an offer for Toronto FC striker Jermain Defoe.

The Daily Mail says Toronto FC would rather sell than loan the ex-England star, while they are also keen to recoup as much of £6million they spent on the striker last January.

Likewise, even if they did agree to a loan, Defoe's basic wage of £60,000-per-week means QPR may require Toronto to fork out a percentage of the forward's wages.

The financial constraints set on the club are an attempt to ensure Rangers comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.

The club already have a breach of Football League FFP rules hanging over them.
