Everton are hoping to acquire Hayden Hackney for £10m, a figure which Middlesbrough consider to be laughable. Middlesbrough will be seeking a fee similar to the £20m they agreed with Ipswich Town last summer, a deal which was not completed. It is generally considered that Hackney would like to leave this summer, but Middlesbrough do not view this as a factor that forces them to sell the Englishman. Middlesbrough would be willing to keep Hackney next season if their conditions are not met, despite him entering the final year of his contract.
