QPR are in contact with Inter Milan about a surprise swap deal involving Adel Taarabt.

Italian transfer expert Gianluca di Marzio is reporting that QPR and Inter are in talks over an exchange involving Taarabt for Yann M'Vila.

France midfielder M'Vila has struggled to win over new coach Roberto Mancini, who is eager to shake up his squad this month.

Taarabt, who spent last season on-loan with AC Milan, has made it clear he wants to return to Italy after falling out with manager Harry Redknapp.

Inter will pursue a deal if they cannot settle terms with Bayern Munich for Xherdan Shaqiri.
