Boateng to quit Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough midfielder George Boateng will be looking to leave the club this summer. Fabio Rochemback and Julio Arca appeared to have stepped up to the plate in recent weeks, which has sparked speculation of Boateng's departure. Bolton, Wigan, Sunderland, Paris St. Germain, Borussia Dortmund and Getafe have all been linked with Boateng.

"There is a possibility, yes. I would be lying if I said no.

"But as long as I am here I will always give my best and perform well because I am not so fickle.

"When it comes to what the club has done for me and vice-versa, the things the fans said about me, the way they appreciated what I did, I haven't forgotten that.

"Overall, it has been great, I can't complain at the way my career has been here but there will be a time when you cannot stay here forever.

"I have one year left, but it is not whether I want to be here, it's whether the club wants me here - and wanting and showing someone that you want him to be here are two different things.

"I don't know if I have the right to be here for another year because I do feel the club is going to make dramatic changes during the summer.

"If I am honest, I don't see myself having a long-term future here, longer than the year I have, so we will have to review it in the summer and see what will happen."
