And the defender has also attracted interest from Celtic and Ipswich who have monitored his progress at Loftus Road in recent weeks.
Clarke-Salter has formed a strong centre-back partnership with Steve Cook under Martí Cifuentes.
The 26-year-old, who is under contract until 2026, is expected to make his 29th appearance of the campaign in the Easter Monday Championship trip to Swansea.
Clarke-Salter came through the ranks at Stamford Bridge and made his Premier League debut for the Blues against Aston Villa in April 2016 – eight years tomorrow.
But his last first-team outing for Chelsea was in September 2017 in a home victory over Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup.
Clarke-Salter went on six loans across five clubs in a bid for regular first-team football.
He had spells at Bristol Rovers, Sunderland, Dutch side Vitesse, two stints at Birmingham before a temporary move to Coventry.
Clarke-Salter joined QPR on a free transfer in 2022 and is finally showing his promise in the first team.
