Middlesbrough are prepared for Turkish striker Tuncay to leave the Riverside, but not on the cheap. Boro have wisely not placed a figure on Tuncay's head, because they want to see what kind of money might be on offer, reports the Evening Gazette.

The Turk claims there is interest in him from England, Germany, Spain and Turkey, but he wants to stay to the Premier League.

He said: "Football in England takes over your life and I was happy with how I played.

"There is contact with several teams, but I cannot say how much or when until any formal offers have been made.

"There is interest from not just England, but Germany and Spain but I want to play for another three years in England - like Tugay Kerimoglu did.

"He was very good in the UK and has left his mark." He added: "I do not want to return to Turkey, I enjoy playing in England - but if I did return it would be for Fenerbahce."
