Reported Middlesbrough transfer target Ross McCormack has supposedly informed Fulham of his desire to leave Craven Cottage this month.
Recent speculation claimed that Boro have had a bid of £9m plus Spanish striker Kike on loan for the Scottish frontman rejected by their Championship counterparts.
However, 29-year-old McCormack is keen to force through a move to Teeside and has insisted that he has played his last game for Fulham, according to the Daily Mail.
The report adds that promotion-hunting Boro are prepared to improve upon their offer, although not by much.
McCormack, who has scored 15 goals this season, missed yesterday's 1-0 defeat at home to Hull City through illness.
