Ayala told: Stay away from Boro
CONTRACT rebel Daniel Ayala has been banned from the Middlesbrough training ground after refusing to play in the club’s remaining fixtures.
Boro suspected Ayala would leave this summer – he moved his family out of their Teesside home after knocking back a new deal.
The 29-year-old is a long-time Leeds target and is expected to join them once his contract expires on June 30. It leaves Boro boss Jonathan Woodgate with problems ahead of Saturday’s home game with Swansea.
