Middlesbrough have missed out on Paris Saint-Germain forward Jese Rodriguez after he chose to go back to Spain to play for his old club Las Palmas for less money, according to the club's president Miguel Ramirez.
Middlesbrough agreed terms with the French champions last week but the player did not want to play in England, insisting that he be allowed to go back to La Liga and play for his hometown side.
The Gran Canaria club wanted the former Real Madrid striker but only if PSG continued paying around three-quarters of his wages until the end of the season.
