With Chris Willock’s current contract at Loftus Road nearing its end, Queens Park Rangers manager Marti Cifuentes has shed light on the winger’s situation, revealing his hopes for Willock’s future with the club.
As the season draws to a close, clubs across the EFL are evaluating their squad compositions for the upcoming campaign, and QPR is no exception. Sitting just above the relegation zone, every point matters for the R’s, as demonstrated in their recent hard-fought victory against Preston North End.
Although Willock didn’t make it onto the scoresheet, his contributions, both on and off the ball, earned praise from Cifuentes. The Spanish head coach expressed his desire for Willock to extend his stay at Loftus Road, emphasizing the player’s commitment and passion for the club.
Cifuentes highlighted Willock’s importance to the team’s tactical approach, particularly against opponents employing a wing-back system. The manager’s tactical adjustments, coupled with the players’ quality performances, have been pivotal in QPR’s recent successes.
However, retaining Willock’s services may prove challenging for QPR. Despite his consistent performances, the 26-year-old winger may seek new challenges and opportunities at a higher level. If QPR cannot demonstrate their ability to meet Willock’s ambitions, securing a new contract may be an uphill battle for the club.
Under Cifuentes’ leadership, QPR has shown promising signs of progress, moving away from the relegation danger zone. Yet, the future of key players like Willock remains uncertain, posing a significant challenge for the club as they navigate contract negotiations and squad planning for the upcoming season.
