Boro desperate for an answer from Juninho

MIDDLESBROUGH are ready to bring matters to a head in their bid to secure Brazilian Juninho's return to Riverside Stadium.

It is understood that chief executive Keith Lamb and his team are preparing to fly to Spain in an attempt to get a definitive answer from the player and his agent and father, Osvaldo Giroldo.

Boro are growing increasingly impatient after making clear to Giroldo that their latest offer, faxed to him last weekend, is their best and final offer.
