Middlesbrough midfielder Fabio Rochemback is in talks with Sporting Lisbon.

Horacio Gagglioli, an agent for the Brazilian, told A Bola: "It is certain that I have spoken with the directors of Sporting but the subject is not closed.

"Also interested in Fabio are other clubs from Spain and it is still necessary to know the offer from Boro, the player finishes his deal in June but the club has an option for a new deal in May."
