Hayden Hackney is attracting interest from Bundesliga clubs, including VfB Stuttgart. Hackney has recently changed his agency and is seeking a transfer to a top league. Middlesbrough is demanding a transfer fee between 23 and 29 million Euros.

VfB Stuttgart is interested in acquiring 22-year-old Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough. Hackney plays in a similar style to current VfB players Atakan Karazor and Angelo Stiller, and could fill a key gap in Stuttgart's squad. His contract with Middlesbrough runs until 2027. The interest is reported by English 'Sky Sports'. FC Porto is also interested in Hackney, but any developments are expected to occur after the U21 European Championship, as both Hackney and Middlesbrough are likely waiting to see if the tournament can boost his market value.
