Live updates on transfer rumours.
TransferFeed valuation based on market analysis.
Recent reports from February 2026 suggest a potential transfer fee could be around £30-£35 million (~€35,000,000-€41,000,000), with a figure of at least £30 million (~€35,000,000) repeatedly mentioned. In January 2026, Middlesbrough's valuation was widely reported as £30 million (~€35,000,000) or €35 million, with a lower figure of £25 million (~€29,500,000) also noted. This followed an accepted bid from Ipswich Town in August 2025 for a reported £20 million (~€23,500,000), which the player turned down. In July 2025, Middlesbrough's asking price was reportedly between €23 and €29 million. His Transfermarkt value has also reportedly risen over time, from €12 million in mid-2025 to €28 million by April 2026.
Our valuation for Hayden Hackney is driven by the clear progression of his reported value. A £20 million (~€23,500,000) bid from Ipswich was accepted by Middlesbrough in August 2025 but rejected by the player, setting a firm floor. Since then, numerous reports in early 2026, citing interest from multiple Premier League clubs, consistently place Middlesbrough's asking price at £30 million (~€35,000,000), with some suggestions of a potential fee as high as £35 million (~€41,000,000). This consistent, recent valuation from multiple sources underpins our estimate.
