Queens Park Rangers have been linked with Marc Leonard in recent transfer windows, and it was claimed in January that Julien Stephan was not actively pursuing the midfielder. That could change this summer, particularly if the West London side lose Jonathan Varane, who has been the subject of transfer interest. It is stated that Rangers could replace his quality with someone like Leonard, who may be available for a low price after his performances since moving to Hearts on loan at the end of January.

Queens Park Rangers are not actively pursuing a move for Birmingham City's 24-year-old midfielder Marc Leonard, contradicting a report from Birmingham World on Wednesday which claimed Rangers were interested in the Scottish player. Although Leonard will not be moving to QPR, the Scottish youth international is still expected to leave St. Andrew's before the transfer deadline to secure regular first-team minutes. Other Championship clubs reportedly have a strong interest, and it was previously claimed that Sheffield United and Norwich City were interested. A Belgian Pro League side and teams from the MLS have also reportedly been interested in the player. Leonard, who has 7 caps for Scotland's U21s, joined Birmingham in July 2024 and is under contract until June 2028. In the Championship this season, he has made 15 appearances and has not scored a goal or provided an assist. His current market value according to Transfermarkt is €700k, and he moved to Birmingham from Brighton for a fee that was reported as €590k.
