Agent - Novo options open

Agent - Novo options open

Nacho Novo's agent admits the Rangers striker's options remain open as a host of clubs chase the signature of the Spanish star.

The forward is one of a number of Gers players to be out of contract this summer and he is yet to be offered terms, leading to intense speculation that he could have made his last appearance for the club.

While Novo has admitted that "it's more chance that I will be leaving" and that there has been interest from clubs in Spain and Greece, his agent Jorge Lera insists nothing has been agreed yet.

Lera said: "The final decision will be Nacho's. We are in contact with clubs in several countries but the issue is not closed either way."

There has also been strong speculation that the striker could be heading to join former Celtic boss Gordon Strachan at Middlesbrough.

Option

Lera added: "This is an option. The new Middlesbrough coach knows perfectly well about Nacho and it is normal that he could be interested."

Meanwhile, Novo, who played for Raith Rovers and Dundee before Rangers, has spoken of the emotional wrench if he does leave Ibrox.

"Leaving Glasgow will not be easy emotionally," he said.

"I have enjoyed my time in Scotland and it will always stay in my heart."
