Hayden Hackney Transfer from Middlesbrough to Ipswich Town
Interest from the Premier League in Hayden Hackney is increasing before the summer transfer window officially opens. It is understood that Middlesbrough have not yet received an official offer for Hayden Hackney, but the club is aware of interest from a number of top-flight clubs. It is likely these clubs will increase their efforts to sign him later in the month. It is stated that Hackney will almost certainly be leaving the club this summer because Middlesbrough did not succeed in the play-off final. While Middlesbrough will attempt to secure a transfer fee that reflects his potential, any money received from a sale of Hackney will be considered pure profit for such calculations, increasing the spending power to strengthen Hellberg’s options this summer.

The Sun has reported that Middlesbrough has accepted a £20 million bid from Ipswich Town for Hayden Hackney. The transfer involves Hackney, a 23-year-old midfielder who gained attention during England U21's European Championship victory. With the successful bid, Hackney is expected to engage in discussions with Ipswich regarding personal terms. Ipswich is prepared to offer him a weekly salary of £35,000, which would be a substantial increase from his current earnings at Teesside. Additionally, Ipswich has proposed to pay a large portion of the £20 million fee upfront. Despite interest from Premier League teams such as Everton, Crystal Palace, and West Ham, and a previously declined offer from Porto in January, Ipswich remains the sole club to have made an official bid this summer. If the transfer is finalized, it would set a new record for a Championship club signing, exceeding the £16 million Burnley paid for Mike Tresor in 2024. Hackney, who played 43 matches in the Championship last season, scoring five goals and providing three assists, faces an uncertain future as it remains to be seen whether he will join Ipswich or explore other opportunities.
