The 34-year-old's agent, Shep Messing, has warned the Teessiders the player will look to further his career elsewhere if they do not come up with a better deal. Schwarzer warned on Thursday he would have no qualms about walking away from the Riverside Stadium after criticising the club over compatriot Mark Viduka's departure.

Messing said: "Middlesbrough asked what Mark wanted and we confirmed his wish to remain at the club. We put forward a sensible and fair proposition for both player and club. We have received a proposal from the club and at this point, we have been unable to agree on terms."

He added: "He has spent over a decade at Boro and loyalty like that is very rare in football today.

"Mark is one of the best and most experienced goalkeepers in the world today.

"He is on top of his game and enjoying the game more than ever. Wherever he plays, Mark has many more great years ahead of him."

Schwarzer, who is currently on Asian Cup duty with Australia, joined Boro in a £1.5million switch from Bradford in February 1997, barely three months after arriving at Valley Parade in a £350,000 move from German club Kaiserslautern.

He has made 407 appearances for the club, and was a key figure in both their 2004 Carling Cup triumph and their first qualification for Europe via the league, when his late penalty save at Manchester City handed the Teessiders their highest Barclays Premier League finish - seventh - the following season.

The former Sydney Marconi player signed a three-year extension in January 2005 after withdrawing a transfer request, but has recently been linked with Bayern Munich.

Viduka's departure after his contract was allowed to run down to hand Newcastle the chance to prise him away on a free transfer came as a huge disappointment to both Schwarzer and Boro.
