QPR boss Harry Redknapp is eyeing Atletico Madrid winger Cristian Rodriguez.

The Daily Mail says the Uruguay star, nicknamed 'The Onion', was a target for Sunderland last summer and QPR are hopeful of striking a loan deal.

Atletico are £400m in debt and want to trim their wage bill.

The 29-year-old Rodriguez has more than 80 caps and previously played for Porto, Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain.
