Paris St Germain have denied claims from midfielder Didier Digard that they are holding up his proposed move from France to Middlesbrough.
The 21-year-old Frenchman accused his current club of "incompetence" earlier in the week after his five million euros switch to the Riverside Stadium remained uncompleted two weeks after being agreed.
But the Ligue 1 club have denied they are behind the hold up and have pointed the finger firmly at the Teessiders.
"Twelve days after an agreement in principle between PSG and Middlesbrough for the transfer of Didier Digard, the directors are still waiting for bank guarantees from the English club," read a club statement.
"After two hours of discussion an agreement was come to. A rate of instalments for the payment of the transfer was also decided upon.
"Part of the details of the agreement on the part of the English club was to provide PSG with bank guarantees.
"Up until now these guarantees have not been presented. Nevertheless, negotiations continue in a climate of reciprocal confidence.
"In conclusion, the declarations by the PSG player Didier Digard are false especially as the player has wished to leave PSG since December 2007."
