Hayden Hackney

Most recently, in January 2026, reports repeatedly cited Middlesbrough's valuation for the player at £30 million (approx. €35 million), with one report also mentioning £25 million (approx. €30 million) and a Transfermarkt value of €25 million. This followed an active summer 2025 window where Middlesbrough reportedly accepted a £20 million (approx. €23 million) bid from Ipswich Town, which the player ultimately rejected. During that same summer, Middlesbrough's asking price was reported to be between €23-29 million, while a potential Crystal Palace bid was linked to a £15 million (approx. €18 million) figure. An earlier offer of £9 million (approx. €11 million) from Porto was reportedly turned down in January 2025.

Our valuation for Hayden Hackney is driven by the concrete, accepted bid of approximately €23 million from Ipswich Town in August 2025, which the player rejected, setting a firm floor. This is combined with multiple, more recent reports from January 2026 stating Middlesbrough's asking price has risen to between £25 million and £30 million (approx. €30-35 million) amid strong and persistent interest from several Premier League clubs.
