Spokesman Dave Allan said "We have made what we believe is a very attractive offer and have stressed to his father in discussions that we want to bring Juninho back to Teesside. Therefore, we very much hope that he can agree terms with us."
However, Juninho's father was less upbeat, claiming that the two parties failed to reach an agreement and the deal was now dead. "We have had friendly discussions but we will not be making a deal. I came here for talks but there has been no deal. The offer they have made is not what we wanted and I will be returning to Brazil," he said.
Come on Boro whats going on, you know the results of the poll, if it means so much to Boro fans and you want to fill the stadium get it sorted. It must be worth bending the rules a little to get him back.
