Arsenal, Benfica and Fiorentina target never considered QPR exit

The 34-year-old was linked with the likes of Arsenal, Benfica and Fiorentina during the transfer window.

“I didn’t think in any moment about leaving QPR,” Cesar was quoted by Globo Esporte at a press conference.

“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.”
