Digard Hits Out

Didier Digard has hit out at PSG over his move to Middlesbrough FC.

Digard told L'Equipe, "The story is simple. Middlesbrough are going to pay the 5million euros (£4million) asked for by PSG."

"Normally, a transfer is paid in two instalments - so Middlesbrough pay 2.5million euros now and the other half later."

"But Paris need liquid assets. Paris want the 5million euros immediately."

"So I am irritated. It has taken too long. I am trying to meet up with the board but they aren't daring to make a decision."

"Quite simply, they are all incompetent."

• Boro keen on signing former Ajax prodigy
• Boro target League One’s hot star to bolster attaching options

oneBoro understands that the deal is still expected to go through later this week.
