Boro ace having Sporting medical

Middlesbrough midfielder Fabio Rochemback has flown to Lisbon on Tuesday for a medical ahead of his imminent move to Sporting.

The former Barcelona man will undergo a medical before putting pen to paper on a three-year deal with the Portuguese giants.

Rochemback leaves Boro on a free transfer in order to rejoin the club from which he originally signed back in 2005.

"I am optmistic and I am happy for the chance to return to Lisbon,” said the Brazilian.

“I always was wanted to return to Sporting and this is my home."

Should Rochemback complete the deal, he leaves after scoring a wonderful free kick on his final appearance for Boro, a club for whom he represented in the 2006 Uefa Cup final.

maltby lord - 13 May 2008 13:45: Fabio is our most gifted and influential midfielder. Yet again Boro let the talented go. We need a new chairman who can bring money to the club and not take it out. Out with Gibson and Southgate.; Report this to a moderator

“Storm in a tea cup. Dementieva's English isn't 100% and her comments have been totally misinterpreted. There was no suggestion of a fix at all. All she meant was that the championship would be decided between the sisters. Not that Serena or Venus would conspire to fix the result. Lost in translation anyone?”
